Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin, the Senior Rabbi at Temple Solel in Hollywood, FL (templesolel.com/), presents his lecture "The Gods Are Broken!" before an audience at Temple Chai (www.templechai.com/) in Phoenix, AZ.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Everyone knows the story of Abraham shattering his father’s idols. It might even be Judaism’s most famous (non-biblical) story. But it is not really a children’s story. It is the most important Jewish story, and it has deep implications for us today.

Rabbi Dr. Ariel Evan Mayse, Assistant Professor at Stanford University (religiousstudies.stanford.edu/) presents his Valley Beit Midrash (www.valleybeitmidrash.org) lecture "Neo-Hasidism and the Theology of Halakhah: The Duties of Intimacy and the Law of the Heart" before an audience at Temple Solel (www.templesolel.org/) in Paradise Valley, AZ.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Together we will seek a Neo-Hasidic theology of halakhah — an understanding of sacred deeds and the divine command that can redress the challenges of modernity and enliven the heart of the contemporary Jewish seeker. We will begin with a brief turn to the teachings of the key figures presented in the companion volume to this book, whose writings are the hearthstones of contemporary Neo-Hasidism. My goal, however, is not to describe their work but to add a new voice to the conversation. I will stake the claim that Neo-Hasidism must be a movement of praxis, one affirming that the life of the spirit is embodied and expressed through concrete deeds. A sense of obligation must be central to our conversation about halakhah, just as a mandate of responsibility is integral to our covenantal relationship with the Divine.
