Is Judaism About Love?

Hosted By: Institute for Jewish Spirituality

In his book, “Judaism is About Love,” Rabbi Shai Held argues that a long-standing misinterpretation of Jewish tradition has resulted in a false binary: that Christianity is about love, while Judaism is about law. He posits that this misrepresentation calls out for a correction: to restore the concept of Judaism as profoundly focused on love. In his conversation with Rabbi Josh Feigelson, Rabbi Held will explore the ways in which love is a radical and moving center of Judaism and how this truth can illuminate the heart of the tradition for us in our everyday lives.
