Delightful Discord: Arguing the Torah
Hosted By: The New York Jewish Week, UJA-Federation of New York
Join the New York Jewish Week in partnership with UJA-Federation New York for the next event in our Folio literary series: a discussion with journalist and author Abigail Pogrebin, and Rabbi Dov Linzer, President and Rosh HaYeshiva (Rabbinic Head) of the Modern Orthodox Yeshivat Chovevei Torah Rabbinical Seminary. moderated by My Jewish Learning Editor, Dr. Rachel Scheinerman.
Linzer and Pogrebin have spent hours discussing what the Torah teaches about loving the stranger, the miracle of Jewish survival and the complex relationship between humans and God. Now, those conversations have been collected into a unique volume and they will be joining us in conversation.
A leading progressive voice in the Modern Orthodox community, Rabbi Dov Linzer serves as religious mentor to rabbinical students and his hundreds of graduates. He has written for The Forward, Tablet and The New York Times, published hundreds of scholarly articles and hosted highly popular Torah podcasts.
