Pluralism, Integrity, and Community: Lecture Three




Mechon Hadar Online Learning show

Summary: Over the course of three interactive discussions, we will explore questions around how we maintain our integrity around observance even as we build community with those who do not share all of our practices or interpretations of Torah. Can we only trust people who practice just like us? Do we presume that those who do not adhere to a prohibition themselves are also likely to lead others astray? These questions lie at the heart of navigating our world of varied Jewish practice. We will begin to get a window into some of the ways rabbinic sources have tackled these challenges.
