In partnership with Hebrew College Me’ah Select. Taught by TBZ member Rabbi Or Rose.
Between 1961-1968 Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (d. 2014) and Father Thomas Merton (d. 1968) developed a close friendship through an exchange of personal letters, published and unpublished writings, and in-person meetings. This relationship not only had a significant influence on these two spiritual virtuosos, but by extension, on the countless numbers of people—Jews, Catholics, and many other seekers—they touched through their teaching, counseling, and writing. In this presentation, we will explore the context—biographical and historical—in which these men met and their intellectual and spiritual affinities. In so doing, we will also explore the legacy of this relationship as a model for interreligious engagement today.
