RABBI FALICK WILL SPEAK:

"THE MANY FACES OF ORTHODOX JEWRY" 

 

Rabbi Falick will explore the complex and often misunderstood world of Orthodox Jewry.

 

While commonly viewed as a single, unified tradition, Orthodox communities are in fact deeply diverse, ranging from ("ultra-Orthodox") Haredi and Hasidic groups that may seek separation from secular society, to Modern Orthodox communities that attempt to engage with it. He will examine their shared foundations, their internal divisions, and the historical and ideological forces that have shaped them, including differing attitudes toward modernity, education, and Zionism.

 

The evening will offer a clearer understanding of how these communities developed, how they function today, and why they continue to evolve in such different directions.
