Vulnerability, Judaism, and Palestine: A Conversation with Rabbi Zach Fredman

In this hour and 15 minute discussion, Dr. George speaks with Rabbi Zach Fredman about ceasefire, grief, Jewish historical trauma, and the urgency of Palestinian freedom. Questions raised include: To what extent can traditions be changed? Healed of patriarchy and ethnocentricism? And bent toward inclusive justice for everyone? How do we find the streams within our traditions that can challenge dominant models of storytelling, in which our own liberation rests on another's silence and suffering? Rabbi Zach Fredman was previously at the New Shul in NYC for 10 years, and is now the Creative Director of Temenos, a non profit which bridges spiritualty and the arts. As a musician and composer, he is the bandleader of Epichorus.
