This week Rabbi Shai Held joins the podcast to discuss his latest book "Judaism is About Love: Recovering the Heart of Jewish Life". It goes without saying that there are A LOT of misconceptions about Judaism within the Christian tradition. To say it even more bluntly, there are a lot of Anti-Semitic and Anti-Jewish teachings and doctrines plaguing the Christian tradition today. In this conversation Rabbi Held explores how love isn't just a sentiment but a theological and ethical imperative deeply rooted in the Jewish tradition. We discuss the radical nature of love in the Hebrew Bible and address many of the misconceptions and false teaching about the Jewish tradition. This is a thought provoking conversation that only just scrapped the surface of Rabbi Held's book. Enjoy the conversation and snag a copy of his book!
