About the series: This three-part series features three influential Jewish thinkers who wrestled with the deepest concerns of contemporary Jewish life after the Holocaust. Each of these thinkers is associated with a different way of being Jewish including Reform, Chabad and Modern Orthodoxy. Additionally, each thinker approached Jewishness from different intellectual lenses including Hegelianism, pastoral psychology and moral philosophy. These brilliant thinkers offer us ways of living a meaningful Jewish life by responding to the deepest challenges of our time.
