Great discussion on what is Jewish culture

I was initially expecting a summary of Jewish history and culture in a more theoretical way, however I felt very enthusiastic to hear this forum of ideas between people of such importance in Jewish culture. A philosophical discussion about the power of the written and the spoken word, the traditions and how Jewish culture was built along time and space.
