The Jewish People as a Tribal Family: an iEngage Conversation
With Rabbi Menachem Creditor
Sunday, August 17 – Davening at 9:30am, Learning at 10:30am
Congregation Netivot Shalom
There
is a widely-held belief that the Jewish People are more divided today
than ever before – a claim that questions the sustainability of the
shared enterprise of Jewish sovereignty. In this conversation with Rabbi
Creditor, we will explore how the Jewish tradition conceptualized the
Jewish People as a Tribal Family, it recognized that Jewish collective identity was always a divided and tribal one, requiring the balancing of collective consciousness with individual and tribal sensibilities.
This
talk is part of an ongoing series sponsored by Congregation Netivot
Shalom in partnership with the Shalom Hartman Institute of North
America. It is free and open to the wider community. Donations of $5 are
optional and support ongoing educational opportunities at Netivot
Shalom.
