01 The Message of Abraham
Our universal message isn’t “Be Jewish,” so what is it? See how Judaism’s universal concern began with Abraham and what ethical monotheism means in practice.
Can logic create morality? Explore the value of innate human dignity, where it comes from, and the trouble with pinning new sources to a timeless moral principle.
Is raising kids all about career-prep? What should we teach our children at school and at home? See the critical purpose that makes family life so central to Judaism's universal morality.
History is a story of purpose and progress, not endless cycles of doom. See how this makes every moral choice a stepping stone to a harmonious future.
