This week, we studied sources that suggest different meanings for what the concept could mean, as well as the discussion over what one needs to believe (or not deny) in order to be considered within the boundaries of legitimate Jewish thought.
At the beginning of June, I travelled from London to York University on behalf of the Reut Institute to give a talk about the Israeli-Palestinian political process.
