Join Rabbi Shai Held from the USA for a special exploration of the ideas at the heart of his acclaimed book, Judaism Is About Love, presented by Emanuel Synagogue and Masorti Australia.

In conversation with Rabbi Jeffrey Kamins, Rabbi Held will reflect on how love, moral responsibility, and human dignity are not peripheral values in Judaism, but its very foundation.

Drawing on classical sources and contemporary realities, this conversation will explore what a Judaism centred on love demands of us today – in our communities, our disagreements, and our engagement with a complex and fractured world. The discussion will also consider the implications of Rabbi Held’s work for Masorti Judaism and its commitment to tradition, ethical integrity, and moral courage.

NB: Rabbi Held will join the event via Zoom, and the conversation will be hosted live on campus by Rabbi Kamins.
