Judaism's Message to the World

Presenter: Rabbi Yitzchok Schmukler

Description

At a time of unprecedented freedom for Jews, the question of ‘What’s the Jewish message to a modern world?’ begs to be answered. There is such a message, and it’s been waiting for just this moment in history to be heard. It’s based in the Seven Laws of Noah and extends to a set of values known as the Sinai Principles. What are those principles? Why are they needed? Would a modern mind find relevance in this idea? Discover how you have a role in all of this, helping to make the world a more wholesome, unified and peaceful place.
