Distinguished Speaker Series: Rabbi Irwin Kula
Come listen to the last installment of the Distinguished Speaker Series at the Lawrence Family Jewish Center.
Rabbi Irwin Kula will speak on "Judaism in the 21st Century: Taking Jewish Wisdom Public." The Jewish challenge of the early 21st century is how to reimagine and retool an entire ancient tradition for a globalized world in which Jews are completely integrated and enjoy unprecedented power, freedom and affluence.
Can Jewish wisdom compete in the global marketplace of ideas? Can Jewish practice speak beyond our "tribal need" to belong to the Jewish people? Can Jewish wisdom and practice speak to our shared human questions and yearnings? Can it be a global wisdom?
