Jewish Ideas to Change the World

Rabbi Dr. Sid Schwarz, Senior Fellow at Hazon (hazon.org/) o presents his Valley Beit Midrash (www.valleybeitmidrash.org) lecture "Judaism, Justice, and Holiness" before an audience at Temple Solel (www.templesolel.org/) in Paradise Valley, AZ.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Rabbi Sid’s groundbreaking book, Judaism and Justice: The Jewish Passion to Repair the World 2006, offers a seminal thesis about the purpose of Judaism. The book portrays a tension between the commitment of Jews to universal values and the Jewish communal tendency to emphasize a more parochial set of priorities. This talk explores the sublime paradox of Judaism which combines a requirement that Jews fully engage in the world to advance peace and justice with a mandate for Jews to continue to be a people apart.
