Engaging Beyond Boundaries

Dr. Tanya White and Dr. Mijal Bitton delve into the second book in the series, Future Tense (what we have termed “The Narrative”), in a thought-provoking conversation that examines its context, structure, and central themes. They explore the critical question of which Jewish narrative to embrace and grapple with the current challenge of antisemitism.

Their discussion addresses the book’s relevance in a post-07/10 world, where an outward-facing, engaged Judaism may seem increasingly fraught. They reflect on Rabbi Sacks’ optimism for a forward-looking narrative and invite listeners to reflect on what it means to build a confident, outward-looking Jewish identity in the face of unprecedented challenges.
