1h 9m
Upending the centuries-long misinterpretation that Christianity is the religion of love and Judaism the religion of law, Rabbi Shai Held offers the radical and moving argument that love belongs just as much to Judaism. Blending intellectual rigor, a respect for tradition and the practices of a living Judaism, and a commitment to the full equality of all people, Held shows that love is a part of Jewish faith, and brings to life the Jewish perspective on injustice and protest, grace, chosenness, family life, responsibilities to our neighbors, and even our enemies.
