First, this modern Orthodox rabbi was one of the first rabbis to really touch my life and to engage me in what my Protestant colleagues would call “formation.” Rabbi Yitz Greenberg was a congregational rabbi in Riverdale, NY; the founder of the Jewish studies program at City College of New York; the creator of CLAL, the Center for Learning and Leadership – which is a think tank for Jewish pluralism and intra-Jewish conversation. I first met Rabbi Greenberg and his wife, Blu, the major Jewish feminist leader, when he engaged me to work with a bunch of modern Orthodox teenagers on a CLAL retreat. That encounter with Rabbi Greenberg, whom I would come to know as Yitz or Rabbi Yitz, changed my perception of Orthodox Jews and Orthodox Judaism. It made me more open to seeing the Jews as a unified people, and not just a discrete collection of ideologies. Yes: this Orthodox rabbi helped shape the world view of this Reform rabbi. His vision of an observant Judaism that was open to the world and freely encountered the world moved me – so much so, that decades later, I would become a regular participant in the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, founded by Rabbi Greenberg's colleague, the late Rabbi David Hartman – also an Orthodox rabbi, and like Yitz, also a rebel. The second way in which Rav Yitz is my oldest friend in the rabbinate: he is 91 years old, and he has just published his magnum opus, his master work, the culmination of everything that he has taught for so long -- "The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism." This is the book that Yitz's students -- and frankly, the Jewish world -- has been waiting for for more than a half century.

We felt that things were too good to last and now they go downhill, very fast. A king shouldn't have too many wives – Shlomo has 1,000. A king's role is serve God as leader of the people. Shlomo worships, or at least enables others to worship, a wide variety of pagan gods. Shlomo's story has left me with a lot of thoughts. The pomp and the grandeur felt so foreign to us – that's not how Jews do it. Humility is the goal and aspiration. But Shlomo gave a good argument for it – I want be a light unto the nations and so I want to build something grand that the world will take notice of. That makes sense. (R Yose in the Talmud Yerushalmi Sanhedrin 2:6 – says that he married so many wives in order to draw them close to Torah – in contrast to Rabbi Shimon b. Yohai who sees him acting out of lust). And that seemed to work for a few chapters. But the bigger they come the harder they fall. The Tanakh never lets us have it easy. The bigger the potential for Kiddush hashem, the bigger the potential for hillul hashem – it's a thin line between sanctification and desecration. The gemara in Sanhedrin (104b) goes so far as to quote an opinion that Shlomo is among those who have no share in the world to come! We don't need to go that far in order to see that like his father David in a different context – elevation and humiliation go hand in hand with one another. I've written the above to share my thoughts as preface to a special conversation that Calev Ben Dor had with Rabbi Irwin Kula, president of CLAL, who considers what Shlomo's story has in common with our contemporary situation, where Jews are once again as affluent and as potentially influential as they were in Solomon's time.

Catholic voters in the swing states: how many are likely to swing towards fellow Catholic Joe Biden? Dr. Mark Rozell recently wrote that Catholics, not evangelicals, will make or break Trump in 2020. Also, this weekend is Rosh Hashanah. What can we learn from Jewish teachings on new beginnings, as well as resilience in the face of the kind of conflict we’re likely to see later this year? I’ll ask Rabbi Irwin Kula, President of Clal. And with November 3rd ever closer, we’ll get an update on Interfaith Alliance’s Your Vote, Your Values campaign from Policy Director Katy Joseph.

If the first phase of Jewish history was biblical, and the second phase rabbinic, Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg believes that we’re now in the third phase – post Holocaust and the modern state of Israel – where G-d is more hidden and the role of the Jewish people is to truly be a light unto the nations. In this talk he sets this viewpoint in context of all that has taken place and inspires us to behave in acknowledgement that we are all created in G-d’s image.
