Dr. Laura Alexander interviews Rabbi David Segal, Policy Counsel at the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, about his journey as a rabbi-lawyer and how BJC protects church–state separation and religious freedom for all.
They explore BJC’s legal work and advocacy—amicus briefs, Ten Commandments and Oak Flat cases—alongside broader initiatives like Christians Against Christian Nationalism, immigration-sensitive locations protections, and debates over school vouchers and public funding.
