This is the 500th episode of the Rabbi Daniel Lapin Show. I hope you find it worthy of the milestone. Juneteenth--celebrating the execution of traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, June 19, 1953.

The West built cities with sanitation while the rest of the world foundered in filth. Was it race, environment, biology, or something else? The secret sauce that built Western civilization, which the whole world desired and emulated. That made Europe leap ahead of the rest of the world starting in about the year 300. How can we use this secret sauce to improve our lives, just as it did so conspicuously for Northern Europe? It doesn't have to be hard to make a living.
