Yes, I support Dennis getting the same medal as Rush Limbaugh, 2 heroes of mine. And yes, Dennis is also my Rabbi and I am not even Jewish. I really hope he recovers well and that he will be back on the radio soon. OK, I admit, this was a totally selfish wish.

The Rush Limbaugh comparison also struck me. That was a noble gesture from Trump when Rush was seriously ill. I still miss listening to his show while eating lunch.

I triple that motion Roger! You and I have this in common - I was a moderate Dem when I first started listening to Dennis in 1993, and he made me keenly aware of 'right' thinking. Proud to be a Jewish conservative ever since!

Great column.

Great column. I had a similar experience hearing him speak in the 1990s, when I was still a Jewish liberal. He was so lucid. What I later came to understand were conservative positions, were such obvious common sense. Some of his examples from that speech still stick with me. One was, he said he'd asked a group of college students this: If their ship was sinking ship and made it onto a lifeboat with one seat left, who would they give it to? Their own pet animal or a human they didn't know? A third said the human, a third said the pet, and a third said they didn't know. It brilliantly highlighted the fallacious thrust of the animal rights movement.

His Prager U spots are beautiful, particularly in sticking with the five-minute limit. They are clear and vivid and prove their points in a time span short enough to hold most viewers who click on them in the first place.

Wonderful idea that I hadn't heard about. If someone starts a petition, I will sign it.

Absolutely! Totally deserving. An honor well earned. From ethical monotheism to the appreciation of the uniqueness of what America was founded to be, to love of classical music, to the sublime connection with God, all the way to the messages on PragerU and his fireside chats. One of the few who addresses both micro and macro. A perfect recognition of his special contribution.

Hear Hear to this idea, Roger!

Morality and happiness are a combination only possible when living as God intends...not an easy feat for any of us.

Thankful for Dennis Prager, his progress and will continue to pray for his recovery.
