“As a peacemaker, I believe deeply that the horrors of the last decades are just a chapter in a much longer book. We inherited a book with multiple responses to the human dilemma – some of them toxic, trauma-inducing, triumphalist, racist, unhelpful but some of them, like V’ahvta, essential tools in reconstruction, repair and hope in humanity.”
Amichai Lau-Lavie joins Dan and Lex for a conversation exploring how the notion of V’ahavta (and you will love) could be channeled more thoroughly in the world — toward peace and justice for all people. They consider connections between contemporary work for liberation, and the holiday of Passover as well. This conversation is the 9th episode in an ongoing mini-series, exploring American-Jewish discourse about Israel-Palestine.
