What is the Genius and Story of the Jews? Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks with Simon Schama and David Gregory.
Recorded Feb 16, 2015 at 92nd Street Y, New York.
The extraordinary resilience of the Jewish people-in the face of adversity through every generation since Moses-gives power and resonance to their collective vision, and provides the key to Jewish identity and sense of purpose.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Emeritus Chief Rabbi of Britain and the Commonwealth and current professor at New York University, Yeshiva University and King’s College London and Simon Schama, author of The Story of the Jews, dig deep into Jewish history to explore and explain the genius of Jewish survival, resilience, security, prosperity and leadership. Moderated by David Gregory.

​@@zapre2284sounds like you must have a lot of achievements. Why don't you tell everyone about them?

⁠Imagine you are considering to act badly , to fortify choosing well the Jewish tradition has the individual imagine that all the deeds of mankind are in perfect balance between good and evil deeds and if you act badly you will tip the cosmic scales towards evil and thus implicate all of mankind before God. Chosen to evolve into the person who is radically responsible . Or as my holocaust survivor father would say chosen to serve ( and not be served as Nazis fancied themselves)

This old engineer, converted to Humanism by reading the Bible; and viewing the appalling acceptance, reversal of victim v perpetrator, after 7/10, found this interesting. Only because the victim was not prepared to take it, but hit back. Most of many times over 2000 + years losing big time. And now, large sections of the world, supporting the Death Cult versus (imperfect) democracy because the latter is not just taking it. But not really winning, which means we all lose. What a gentler, safer, time it was, so recently. I hope we can hold it; the latest plan looks possible, and the evil ones have been reduced a lot.
