On Screaming – and Other Radical Ways of Showing Up
Yehuda Kurtzer on expanding our understanding of what Jewish tradition teaches about responding to crisis
In response to the current political moment in Israel, the Shalom Hartman Institute of North America hosted a day-long virtual Teach-In on September 20. This episode is a recording of Yehuda Kurtzer’s opening session, where he challenges us to expand our understanding of what Jewish tradition teaches us about how we can respond in times of crisis. In addition to protest, he suggests that blowing shofar, teaching, and fasting are all rituals that transform and mobilize us as individuals and as a community. Listen here:
