In dialogue with other rabbis and thinkers Rabbi Rose will explore core questions of Jewish belief and opinion. What are the differences and commonalities between the Orthodox, Reform, Conservative and other movements? Is the Torah divine in origin? Can Jewish belief and practice change over time? What is the role of mitzvah? And how do our core commitments as Jews affect our action in the present and our hopes for the next generation of Jewish life? Join us for this ongoing, thought-provoking, multi-denominational conversation.
