Jewish Ideas to Change the World

Rabbi Dr. Alon Goshen-Gottstein, , the founder and director of the Elijah Interfaith Institute (elijah-interfaith.org/), presents his Valley Beit Midrash lecture "Luther was an Anti-Semite – What Does That Mean For Us?" before an audience at Temple Chai (www.templechai.com/) in Phoenix, AZ.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Martin Luther shaped western culture. He also contributed to antisemitism, eventually inspiring the Third Reich. Is there another way of dealing with this issue than simply condemning Luther? I will suggest that what went wrong with Luther can go wrong with how any member of one religion sees another. Luther is a great teacher also in his failings.
