pluralism, our favorite thing!

[Ethan Schwartz]

Hey everyone,

It was great to see many of you this past shabbos; thanks again to Aaron for having us. The following came up during lunch, so I wanted to pass it along to all of you. It's a piece that I wrote about Jewish pluralism in August in response to the Tikvah summer seminar at Princeton. It happened to be published in the Tikvah alumni forum right around the time we heard from Yitz Greenberg about (among other things) pluralism, but it slipped my mind to send it out then. In it, I think you'll find reflections of many of the ideas and concerns that we articulated during that session––and, of course, again at shabbos lunch.

Channukah sameach,
Ethan
