Join JTS, IIJS, and the NYU Skirball Department of Hebrew and Judaic Studies to explore themes of love and friendship in Jewish thought with a panel of preeminent scholars. We will examine the complex and central place of love and longing in modern Hebrew literature, Jewish theology, and ethics, and consider what this rich intellectual tradition can offer for contemporary political life. This event will take place in person at the Jewish Theological Seminary (3080 Broadway).
