Judaism Disrupted, Again:
Fifty years ago, the landmark publication of The Jewish Catalog, a Jewish "do-it-yourself" guide, had a significant cultural impact on the liberal Jewish world. Rabbi Michael Strassfeld, one of the Catalog editors, recently published a new challenging book: Judaism Disrupted: A Spiritual Manifesto for the 21st Century. Join Rabbi Angela Buchdahl in conversation with Rabbi Michael Strassfeld as they examine the state of liberal Judaism over the last fifty years and today. They will discuss what might be in store for the fifty years ahead, asking crucial questions about how we can ensure a vibrant, engaging, accessible and meaningful Judaism for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.
