A Jew, a Muslim and a Christian Walk into a Bar
Judaism, On G-D, Online Media, Politics of Religion May 22nd, 2007Actually it looks more like a college classroom than a bar and this isn’t really even a joke but that’s ok.
I stumbled across this two-part video series of a recent interfaith discussion between a priest, an imam and a rabbi and felt they were worth sharing with others.
To be honest this discussion is at times a little slow and boring but the videos are certainly worth skimming because there’s some interesting stuff covered. For example some of the things which caught my attention included a discussion of creation stories, the nature of G-D and a discussion of free will, evil and original sin.
Watching the video I just assumed that the rabbi was Reconstructionist simply because of some of the views he presented in that funky Sephardic style Kippah he was wearing. However it turns out he’s a conservative rabbi which was pleasantly surprising but I don’t have much contact with conservative rabbis so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised at all, who knows.
Anyhow the videos run over two hours in total but I just skipped around, watching both of them in 45 minutes or so and still managed to get a lot out of them.
Enjoy and as always feel free to share your thoughts if you do in fact watch the videos.

TG- you’re a brave man to spend all that time browsing a video…I certainly wouldn’t have the courage to do that!
