In this episode we are joined by Dr Ed Kessler who is the founder and former Director of the Woolf Institute in Cambridge. Dr Kessler set up the institute to act as a vehicle for Christian-Jewish dialogue but has since expanded it to include all the abrahamic faiths and to be a centre of interreligious dialogue more broadly.
In this conversation, our five main questions were presented: From a jewish perspective, who or what is God, what are the sources of the religion, what is the goal of the religion, how are we meant to reach that goal, and what does Judaism have to say about the problem of evil.
But as you will hear Dr Kessler presents Jewish ideas of compassion, community, and faith all amidst several wonderful anecdotes and stories.
