now figure this one out"- did you catch the complexity, even with judaism? you know, the religious zionists, the religious anti-zionists, the secular nationalists, the religious secular anti-zionist zionists. it's like i don't know, it's out of monty python. yeah, go ahead. >> so if they decided that they should be two separate states, then i guess the idea is they're both fighting over the same little bit of land- they all want jerusalem or something? >> well, it's very complex, but in a nutshell, to kind of give you the overview, you know, what we have here, and this came out of the- one of the things that i really love about this profession and at least the freedom i have at western to teach, is that i can create or resurrect classes- and i wanted to know more about judaism, so i put together a semester-length class on judaism and much of this comes out. well, of course, everyone is familiar with the holocaust, but the history of the jews is just enormous irony and suffering, and it's just overwhelming. but to come back here quickly to the situation, the

there's a tradition within judaism of actually studying our texts in partnership with others. there's a line from the book of proverbs that says as iron sharpens iron so does another -- does one person sharpen another, and there's really a quality when we look at a text together and come to a different perspective. i think, you know, michael's book is a really good example. i love this book, but i read it myself. if you read it yourself and i read it myself we would each come to our own perspective if we then discuss it had afterwards, i'd be looking through your eyes and coming to some conclusion that i wouldn't have arrived at myself. >> i agree with that. in fact, i did a book group on this particular book on "the wanting," which is you know, my second book, and what i did is i decided i would teach the book as if i hadn't written it. so i just started asking questions about -- like you would in a class, well, what themes do you see in the book, and i learned an enormous amount about my own work. it was astounding what different people bring to the -- bring to the table. on

joining me now, the director of the center for judaism, thank you for joining us.od to have you here. >> good to talk with you, rachel. >> why do you believe that president bush will speak at the messianic bible event tomorrow. >> i fully support that he has a right to speak, but having the right to do something doesn't make it right or wise. and this decision is so painful to many people in the jewish community. first, he is raising money for and endorsing an organization whose primary purpose is to convert all different religions. how do you have a respectful relationship if the measure of success of one group is the ending of the other group by having them convert away from their own religion? secondly, the core theological is the irrational covenant, secondly, this is part of the movement, saying you can be a jew and a christian at the same time. that is deceptive practices, trying to manipulate people. you can't be a christian and jew at the same time. let's respect religions for what they are. and by throwing his stamp of approval to this group he is acting i

there are positive prayers in judaism that say may we have as many privileges as a pomegranate has seedse name was chosen after a strong fruit that symbolizes goodness and with the hope that we will always symbolize goodness in this facility. >> rimonim is not the only israeli prison whose name holds a special meaning. there is only one prison in the entire nation that houses female inmates. its name is neve tirza, which means oasis of strong women. >> the most striking thing about neve tirza is that it is the only female prison in israel, and it has 215 beds. to give you some perspective, the state of virginia has the same population as israel and six times as many female inmates. >> we have all types. long sentences, short sentences, minors, old women. everybody is here. every kind of crime you can think of, murderers, sex offenders, drug dealers, white collar. >> you have white-collar criminals with someone who has committed murder? >> right. >> like rimonim, neve tirza also places an emphasis on rehabilitation. and in certain areas could be mistaken for a college campus. but to inmat

jewish context it means that the only religion that he would have been remotely familiar with is judaism beyond the scriptures that he would've had any experience with the scriptures of the hebrew bible the old testament as the top sometimes referred to the elite god that he would have known was the god of the hebrew bible. and so that means that when we look at the things that jesus said that things that jesus did we must understand stand them. it exclusively in its jewish context did i get as an equal status when in an interfaith understanding of jesus. what's important to focus on these values that jesus preached. that is historically com fixed. you get the preaching of jesus the first of the last the last of the first conception of social justice that is at the heart of his conception of the world. on the way that he confronted the powers of his time the corruption and ineptitude of the political and religious powers. those are things that don't require a theological understanding for them to be resonant for them to be powerful. one is based in the us that he was born in iran and muc

because we are sounding like we are separating heaven from earth as one might in christianity, or judaism, or islam. not so because heaven is also interconnected and in essence contains the same substance. but over time it takes on more philosophical authority and nevertheless we can see as both a place, but also a ruling order, especially in the moral order. and since we're talking about the ethical dimension, we want to be looking at that so, tian - heaven. and of course in the mythic dimension, yin and yang. the balance between female principle sometimes represented by, as the tiger yin, and yang the male principle as the dragon not one, not a good, or bad, or right, or wrong situation it's the constant search for balance in any situation. so we are actually going somewhere with this folks, and it's heading towards the ethical dimension. because, how we relate to each other, this call towards balance, and reciprocity, and complimentarity, rolls out of this essential world view that all things - that balance can be found in all things. so ritual dimensions; li - not to be confused with
