New Book Network Podcast on Recharging Judaism

New Books Network is a podcast dedicated to raising the level of public discourse by introducing serious authors to a wide public.   In this episode, Daveeda Goldberg, a PhD candidate in the Department of Humanities at York University, in Toronto, Canada, interviews Judy Seldin-Cohen and me as in their words, “We discuss how the idea of minyan can work as a model for social movements; we discuss the stages congregations can follow to embark on a civic project; and, we discuss how to avoid community division while still encouraging healthy debate — which, along with supporting the needy, is as authentic and ancient a Jewish tradition as one can find.”
