I’m Jewish. Do I Have to Believe in God?

Rabbi David Wolpe and Rebecca Newberger Goldstein in Conversation with Rabbi David Ingber
Rabbi David Wolpe, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, and Rabbi David Ingber

It’s a question as old as monotheism itself: Are Jews a race? A culture? A people? A religious group?

And where, today, might God fit in? In SAPIR’s most recent volume on faith, one of America’s preeminent rabbis, David Wolpe, describes the paradox of maintaining belief in the face of skepticism, and leading philosopher Rebecca Newberger Goldstein considers how to live an ethical life as a self-proclaimed Jewish atheist. They are joined by Rabbi David Ingber for a thought-provoking discussion on whether belief in God is crucial to living a Jewish life.
