Coalition Culture: Rabbi James on “Redeeming Captives”

When

February 22, 2025    
5:30 pm - 6:30 pm

 

As hostages continue to be released from captivity and return home to Israel, we will
come together to learn what Jewish tradition says about the importance of “redeeming
captives.”

There is a whole series of texts in the Talmud that speaks to this idea. In
addition to looking at historical sources, we will also look at how those same ideas
emerged in contemporary Israeli society since October 7, 2023.

Join Rabbi James as we discuss this timely and complex issue.
