Event description:
Blood seeps from a good number of Biblical passages, but so too do glorious dreams of peace. When the Jews were kicked out of ancient Israel arguments about ‘just wars’ and military power became theoretical, but now there is a state, an army and a whole bunch of military complexity involved in being a modern Jew. Join Rabbi Jeremy Gordon, for an evening’s journey through sources and struggles with an ancient issue that has very contemporary edges. Rabbi Jeremy Gordon is the rabbi of New London Synagogue. He has a first class honours degree in law from Cambridge University and received rabbinic ordination from the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. While in New York, Jeremy trained as a hospital chaplain and spent many hours working with the Red Cross in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. Jeremy teaches midrash, theology and Judaism, society and politics. This is set to be a fascinating examination of relevant and controversial issues by a great teacher - not to be missed!
