Jewish Public ForumJewish Public Forum Interviews on Identity, Work, and Ideas
In
keeping with its mission to open up
new modes of question-asking and conversation, and to juxtapose subjects that are often
considered separately, the Jewish Public Forum is
conducting a series of interviews with its participants. Like the Jewish Public Forum
meetings and conferences, these interviews have provided participants with an opportunity
to reflect on the connections and gaps between their Jewish and secular
experiences, their intellectual and spiritual insights. These exchanges remind us
of the need for a Judaism that emerges, in the words of early twentieth century German
Jewish theologian Franz Rosenzweig, when we work from the periphery back to the
center; from the outside, in.
