We Are All Responsible (Shoftim - A Conversation with Alden Solovy)

Alden Solovy is a poet and a creator of beautiful modern liturgy. In this episode, he joins Rabbi Micah Streiffer to discuss the idea of communal responsibility (as expressed in an intensely strange event in this week's Torah portion), to talk about the ongoing events in Israel and Gaza, and to read some of his original meditations for the High Holy Days.

Alden's newest book is Enter These Gates: Meditations for the Days of Awe from CCAR Press. A 20% discount is available using code HHD5785.
