This is the fourth lecture of a five part series that Dr. Zohar Raviv is presenting at Alma College in Tel Aviv. The Lecture is on Jewish Pluralism, Jewish Diversity: The Multifaceted evolution of Judaism. You can either listen to this lecture in podcast form and/or watch it in video form on this site and on youtube. This series is a great opportunity to help to understand the vast and intricate matrix that makes up being Jewish. Knowledge is everything. It allows for the uniqueness of the divine individual to understand itself, and the ability to dialogue creating a communal experience. I strongly urge you all to take the time to listen to Zohar’s lectures. They are both enlightening and challenging.
Here are the links to the previous three lectures in this series.

These are a series of videos of the first session of 4 lectures that Dr. Raviv is presenting on Key Paradigms of Jewish Thought and Life. This first one is on The Evolving “One” : Ideas of God in Jewish Discourse. It is both fascinating and thought provoking. He provides a variety of approaches in understanding the Philosophical, Theological, and Religious implications in the origin of the “Jewish” God. “Eventually the human mind will express the necessity of “One”.
