It Takes Two to Torah featuring Abigail Pogrebin and Rabbi Dov Linzer
Thursday, September 12, 2024 • 9 Elul 5784
7:30 PM - 9:00 PMJoin us for a lovely conversation with journalist Abigail Pogrebin and Rabbi Dov Linzer as they discuss their book It Takes Two to Torah: An Orthodox Rabbi and Reform Journalist Discuss and Debate Their Way Through the Five Books of Moses. Expect an evening filled with candor, humor, emotion, personal revelation, and scholarship, as the two meet in the middle to bring us their most honest intellectual and relevant understanding of the Torah.
Rabbi Linzer is President and Rabbinic Head of YCT Rabbinical School (a Modern Orthodox
seminary,) and Abigail Pogrebin is a veteran journalist, author of “My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew” and former producer for “60 Minutes.”
Dov is a renowned expert in Torah and Talmud, whose personal values run liberal and egalitarian, but who also has clear parameters about what is halachically correct and comfortable when it comes to Jewish law and tradition. Abby is our relatable every-Jew in America, deeply engaged in Jewish life, but less through strict observance and prayer as through study, reporting, synagogue, and community.
Read their article published today in Tablet Magazine, and listen to the podcast which spawned the book, Parasha in Progress, here.
