Confronting the Future: Jewish Identity in the 21st Century
Time:	02 Mar 2002 - 8:30 pm
Contributors:	Jonathan Sacks, George Steiner. Chaired by Joshua Rozenberg
Notes:	What future lies in store for the Jewish people in the 21st century? What balance should be struck between secular principles and Jewish beliefs? What roles should national and European citizenship, God and Torah, the Diaspora and Israel play in our identities – and in the culture and values we transmit to future generations? As the world is thrown into turmoil by international conflict and radical individualism, two outstanding thinkers grapple with some of the central questions of our time. Professor Jonathan Sacks is Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth. One of the world’s leading Modern Orthodox thinkers, he is the author of numerous books, notably Will we have Jewish Grandchildren?, The Politics of Hope and Radical Then, Radical Now. Professor George Steiner is an internationally renowned scholar of Western culture, language, and intellectual history. He was recently named the 2001-02 Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard. His many books include In Bluebeard’s Castle: Some Notes Towards the Redefinition of Culture, Real Presences and Errata: An Examined Life. Joshua Rozenberg is the Legal Editor of The Daily Telegraph.
