Teaching and dialogue on Judaism is About Love
Rabbi Shai Held

Join Rabbi Shai Held as he introduces the central themes of his book then joins Rabbi Sitkin in a conversation on the centrality of love to the Jewish vision of ethics, spirituality, and theology. What can Judaism teach us about love, and what can a renewed focus on love reveal to us about Judaism?

Rabbi Shai Held, is President and Dean of the Hadar Institute in New York City. Rabbi Held received the prestigious Covenant Award for Excellence in Jewish Education, and has been named multiple times to Newsweek’s list of the most influential rabbis in America and to the Forward's list of the most prominent Jews in the world.
