The Jew and The Other: Building Walls and Building Bridges
Constructing a Jewish identity in a modern world is a difficult and complex task. The rabbis of the Talmud spend a great deal of time and energy exploring how one confronts people who are different physically, spiritually or theologically. We will explore several rabbinic perspectives on difference, and attempt to understand the role of the Other in Jewish tradition.
