Episode 927: The Battle over Authority | A teaching from the Parsha 'Yitro'

The battle over authority is an enduring struggle embedded within the fabric of human society, characterized by the contestation for power, control, and legitimacy.  Throughout history, individuals, groups, and institutions have vied for supremacy, each asserting its claim to govern, lead, or influence.
