A dramatic misinterpretation of the Jewish tradition has shaped the history of the West: Christianity is the religion of love, and Judaism the religion of law. In the face of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation, Rabbi Shai Held recovers the heart of the Jewish tradition in his most recent book, Judaism Is About Love: Recovering the Heart of Jewish Life. In it he offers the radical and moving argument that love is foundational and constitutive of true Jewish faith, animating the singular Jewish perspective on injustice and protest, grace, family life, responsibilities to our neighbors and even our enemies, and chosenness.
Rabbi Held will be joined in conversation with Dr. Jerome Creach, Robert C. Holland Professor of Old Testament at PTS. Rabbi Held and Dr. Creach will share their mutual scholarly interest in the Hebrew Bible, and consider how each of their traditions—Judaism and Christianity—are religions of love rooted in these Scriptures.
