| The Miraculous Case for God A View from Jewish History | 04 Jan 2021 | 00:54:58 | |
In his late nineteenth-century essay, “Concerning the Jews,” Mark Twain made the following observation, "The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed and made a vast noise, and they are gone. . . . The Jew saw them all, beat them all. . . . All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?" This open question, an explanation for the miracle of Jewish survival, and the religious meaning of Jewish history will be the center of conversation during Museum of the Bible’s upcoming speaker event, The Miraculous Case for God: A View from Jewish History—A Conversation with Rabbi Meir Soloveichik.
