In honor of the centennial of Hebrew College, eight leading Jewish thinkers reflect on the challenge of renewing Judaism for today. Each speaking through the prism of their own life’s work, these faculty members and friends of Hebrew College — from across North America and Israel — will explore the ways in which Judaism has responded and continues to respond to communal and existential challenges. In a moment when issues of Jewish identity and particularism grow ever more complex, each of these thinkers offers a compelling vision for renewal.
