Jewish Ideas to Change the World

Sherman Minkoff Memorial Lecture: The Constitution and its Demand for Radical Empathy


Listen Later

A hybrid event (in-person and virtual) by Rabbi Jack Moline


The event was co-hosted by Congregation Beth Israel 


About The Event: 

We live in a time in which the acquisition and deployment of political power has overshadowed the values of civic engagement and public service. What is the essential message of the defining document of the United States, and how can it help us to restore a sense of authenticity to both the left and the right? Rabbi Jack Moline will draw on his years as a successful congregational rabbi, prominent interfaith activist, and advisor to presidents, governors, and senators to look, as a Jew, into the Constitution and highlight its central message: empathy. On the way he will offer perspective on the role of faith in society and even what the concept of eruv teaches us about the National Mall!


About The Speaker: 

Jack Moline is President Emeritus of Interfaith Alliance and also Rabbi Emeritus of Agudas Achim Congregation in Alexandria, Virginia, where he served in the pulpit for 27 years. Rabbi Moline is the author of two collections of contemporary Torah commentary, Different Chapter, Same Verse (Amazon), Volume 1 (September 2024), and Volume 2 (January 2025), in addition to earlier books on leadership, mourning, and Jewish humor. Rabbi Moline also contributes to many publications, both print and web-based, and is the host of the webcasts “The American Purpose” and “Stay Home, Stay Focused.” He is a popular speaker, featured on radio, television, and web broadcasts and in synagogues, churches, and organizations. He has been named one of the top rabbis in the United States and has advised Presidents, Senators, Members of Congress, and a lot of just good people. He lives in Alexandria with his wife Ann, and they are the parents of three happily married children and the grandparents of five.


The event was present in loving memory of Dr. Sherman Minkoff.
