Shabbat with Friends, a nonprofit Jewish educational organization, is excited to announce that Rabbi Arthur Green is coming to New Mexico as a Community Scholar-in-Residence. He will deliver two public lectures in New Mexico listed above.   

Rabbi Green is one of the preeminent Jewish scholars, thinkers, and educators of this generation. He was the top student of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, z‘al, the great Jewish theologian and activist. He is a renowned scholar of 18^th century Hasidism, a master translator and interpreter of classic Hasidic texts, and a leading expert on Jewish mysticism.  

Through his popular and academic writings, Rabbi Green has argued for Judaism’s religious and spiritual brilliance and relevance. He is an inspiring teacher and eloquent speaker on forms of Jewish spirituality and the potential of the mystical and Hasidic teachings to inspire devotion to and renewal of Jewish life.                                                                                                                                                                                          

His widely read Ten Best Ideas of Judaism and Radical Judaism have inspired many readers to rediscover deeper dimensions of their Jewish heritage. His most recent book, Judaism for the World, won a National Jewish Book award in 2021. His understanding of Judaism is a compelling alternative to contemporary forms of Jewish religious extremism and pervasive polarization.
