Jewish Public Forum

Jewish 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.”
