Transformative Judaism

Submitted by Rabbi Arthur Waskow on 4/27/2012

Our world is in deep crisis, a planetary earthquake. Old stabilities -- economic, political, ecological, sexual, familial -- are shaking beneath our feet and in our bellies. What can Judaism do to create from this crisis a planetary community, rather than a global disaster? What shape would a "transformative Judaism" have to take -- concerned not only with renewing the Jewish people but also with healing the world? Rabbi Arthur Waskow provides a fascinating glimpse into the heart of these questions and appeals for new thought as well as new action.
