Some of Rabbi Creditor's other Talks:

Exile as a Metaphysical Reality (March 24, 2011) 

• Since Abraham, we have been 'outsiders looking in.' Although many of us see Israel as 'home', most of us don't live there. But 'exile' can mean much more than just living in the Diaspora.  What is home?  Where are the margins?  Is an exilic life inescapable?  Is it a blessing? - audio, handout

The Necessity of Windows (Oct. 25, 2009) 

• Celebrating Rabbi Creditor's chapter in the newly published book:  "Torah Queeries" (NYU Press)!  The portrayal of Jewish tradition as a self-contained system freezes a naturally evolving civilization into a limited legal tradition based on one moment in its history. This reduction of tradition not only translates inherited tradition into the realm of "untouchability", but it also rejects the validity and holiness of the outside world. Join this conversation with Rabbi Creditor, discussing a Judaism most authentically practiced when its religious leadership, in a process of healthy assimilation, combines the best of the inside with the best of the outside. - audio, handout

Revelation of a Sacred Embrace (Nov. 9, 2008) 

• The embrace of humanity is surely a Jewish imperative, but not to be misconstrued as conferring Jewish identity.  I embrace the other as a fellow Divine Image and accept the ideas of the other as potentially equally valid paths to God.  But the other is not me.  And cherishing those who observe differently, think differently, and talk differently, is neither more nor less holy than discovering how I am called to observe, think, and talk.  Participate in this conversation on pluralism, Judaism, and holiness where Rabbi Creditor shared his recently published article in Conservative Judaism entitled "The Sacred Embrace." - audio, handout
