Rabbi David Weiss-Halivni is a survivor of Auschwitz and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars of the past century. He contends that the unprecedented horrors of the Shoah defy explication; rather the cause of suffering was "cosmic," as in God's actual, ontological withdrawal from human history. Rabbi Michael Berenbaum, leading scholar of the Holocaust, joins Weiss-Halivni for a conversation about Jewish theology after Auschwitz, the memorialization of the Shoah, and why remembering is an "act of defiance."

Co-presented by the Jewish Community Center San Francisco and the Holocaust Center of Northern California.

The Alfred Manovill Memorial Lecture is made possible through the generosity of the Ingrid Tauber Philanthropic Fund of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund.
