In Monday's episode of Dennis AMA, Dennis Prager lets listeners set the agenda with questions pulled from October and November 2004, covering everything from faith and family to parenting, music, books, and the unexpected lessons of everyday life.

Dennis discusses why Jewish evangelism largely disappeared after centuries of persecution and isolation, the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, and his vision for a Jewish Christian alliance. He also has a touching conversation with a young Christian school student who recites the Shema in Hebrew.

The conversation turns to parenting as Dennis advises a father struggling with his son's school performance. He discusses grades, discipline, school choice, reading, and why children should not be defined solely by their academic achievements.

Dennis also shares a remarkable story from a serious car accident in his youth, talks about his love of music and Bible translations, and gets an unexpected lesson in how to properly adjust car mirrors to eliminate blind spots.

The episode concludes with a powerful reflection on family heritage, adoption, and what parents truly pass on to their children. For Dennis, values matter more than blood, and the legacy we leave our children is ultimately about what we teach them and how we influence the people they become.
