Primary exempt purpose

WISDOM WITHOUT WALLS IS A NONPROFIT, NONDENOMINATIONAL, ONLINE LEARNING COMMUNITY THAT HOSTS INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MOST PROMINENT VOICES IN CONTEMPORARY JEWISH THOUGHT, FOSTERING DISCUSSIONS WITHOUT IDEOLOGICAL BARRIERS.

  • IN AN INSIGHTFUL, YET COUNTER-INTUITIVE CONVERSATION, LIEL LEIBOVITZ EXPANDED ON WHY HE IS MORE HOPEFUL AFTER OCTOBER 7 THAN HE HAS BEEN IN A LONG TIME. OCTOBER 7TH, ACCORDING TO HIM, BROUGHT MORE PEOPLE TO EMBRACE THEIR LOVE OF AND COMMITMENT TO JUDAISM. IT ALSO FORCED US TO UNDERSTAND JUDAISM AS A DISTINCT TRADITION WITH DIFFERENT MORAL GUIDELINES AND HAS REQUIRED US TO REALIGN OUR PRIORITIES AND DOUBLE DOWN ON WHAT REALLY MATTERS.

  • CONVERSATION TITLED WHERE IS GOD IN OUR TIME-EVERY TIME JEWS HAVE GONE THROUGH TRAGEDY, WE INEVITABLY HAVE THEOLOGICAL QUESTIONS. WHERE IS GOD? WHY DID GOD ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? WHAT DOES GOD WANT FROM US? THERE IS NO ONE BETTER THAN RAV YITZ GREENBERG TO LEAD US IN A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS TOPIC. IN HIS UPCOMING BOOK, THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE: A NARRATIVE THEOLOGY OF JUDAISM, GREENBERG DESCRIBES JUDAISMS UTOPIAN VISION OF A WORLD CREATED BY A GOD WHO LOVES LIFE, WHO INVITES HUMANS TO LIVE ON THE SIDE OF LIFE AND ENABLES THE FORCES OF LIFE TO TRIUMPH OVER DEATH. TO ACHIEVE THIS IDEAL, JUDAISM OFFERS THE METHOD OF COVENANTREALISTIC, PERSONAL, INCREMENTALA PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND HUMANITY ACROSS GENERATIONS IN WHICH HUMAN BEINGS GROW EVER MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR WORLD REPAIR.

  • CONVERSATION TITLED ON OUR OWN: AMERICAN JEWISH LIBERALISM AND ANTISEMITISM-LIKE PONINES SAD SONG ON MY OWN IN LES MIS, MANY AMERICAN JEWISH LIBERALS ARE FEELING THE PAIN OF UNREQUITED LOVE WITH NUMEROUS PROGRESSIVE ALLIES IN THE WAKE OF OCTOBER 7. THE FAILURE OF MAJOR WOMENS ORGANIZATIONS TO CONDEMN THE MASSIVE SEXUAL VIOLENCE ON THE GAZA BORDER AS WELL AS THE WIDESPREAD SANITIZATION OF HAMAS AS A LEGITIMATE NATIONAL LIBERATION MOVEMENT HAVE BEEN CRUSHING FOR JEWISH PROGRESSIVES. EVEN MORE FUNDAMENTALLY, QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLACE OF JEWS AND JUDAISM IN PROGRESSIVE CURRICULA HAVE BECOME MORE URGENT. RABBI LANCE J. SUSSMAN WILL EXPLORE THESE AND OTHER ISSUES AS WELL AS THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN JEWISH LIBERALISM IN HIS WISDOM WITHOUT WALLS TALK.

  • WISDOM WITHOUT WALLS IS A NONPROFIT, NONDENOMINATIONAL, ONLINE LEARNING COMMUNITY THAT HOSTS INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MOST PROMINENT VOICES IN CONTEMPORARY JEWISH THOUGHT, FOSTERING DISCUSSIONS WITHOUT IDEOLOGICAL BARRIERS.
