Rabbi David Cohen (1887-1972) became a Nazir shortly before meeting and becoming Rav Kook’s primary student and spiritual companion in 1915. Together they created “The Central Universal Yeshiva” in Jerusalem. His magnum opus - The Call Of Prophecy (1970) - is a masterpiece of Torah literature for our time and future. We will read highlights from it.

What would the original Zionist leaders have to say about Israel today? Join me in a reading of classical Zionist texts which will challenge us to think about Israel as a fulfilment or disappointment (or both) of the initial Zionist visions, and discuss our own complex relationships with Israel and Zionism.

Scepticism is often thought of as a negative attitude, but can it in fact be positive, even ethical? We will examine Emmanuel Levinas's argument about the role of scepticism in the work of justice, namely, that it is required in order for justice to remain just. Seen this way, can scepticism be viewed as the very enactment of ethical life?
