Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik and Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks will lead a discussion on “Pesach and the Future of Jewish Thought” on Sunday, March 26, at 10 a.m. at Yeshiva University’s Lamport Auditorium at 2540 Amsterdam Avenue, New York.

The event celebrates the publication of “Books of the People: Revisiting Classic Works of Jewish Thought” by the University’s Zahava and Moshael Straus Center for Torah and Western Thought.

Rabbi Dr. Meir Soloveichik, director of the Straus Center and assistant professor of Judaic studies, describes the “Books of the People” as “an extraordinary introduction to the full range of Jewish thought as well as a treasure trove of insights that have been an essential part of the intellectual heritage of the Jewish people.”

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, who had been the Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth for 22 years and was recently named the winner of the 2016 Templeton Prize, is the author, among many other books, of “A Guide for the Perplexed at the Seder Night: How Maimonides Can Help Us Understand the Exodus.”

Rabbi Yaakov Glasser, The David Mitzner Dean of Yeshiva University’s Center for the Jewish Future (CJF), notes that “this program will provide an opportunity to enrich the experience of the Pesach seder with the insights and perspectives of two great scholars in Jewish thought.”

The event is open to men and women, and registration is required at www.yu.edu/thought. For more information, please contact Rabbi Aryeh Czarka, Program Coordinator, Center for the Jewish Future at [email protected] or 212-960-5400, ext. 6826.
