Voices of Love Tenzin Chogkyi Voices of Love: Bridging Differences Through Compassionate ConversationsWe are living in a time of deep fragmentation. Communities and nations are increasingly divided along lines of political affiliation and ideology, race, class, religion, immigration status, language, and more. The public conversation often suggests there are only two sides: winners and losers, us and them.Voices of Love begins from a different premise. This series asks whether another way forward is possible—one grounded not in uniformity of belief, but in curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to truly listen to one another.When we perceive others’ beliefs and opinions as different from our own, it can feel difficult—sometimes even unsafe—to listen openly or ask why they see the world as they do.

Rabbi Avraham Katz brilliantly divides the entire work so that each week one is able to learn at least one discourse that relates to the weekly parsha or proximate holiday, while at the same time completing the entire Likkutei Torah on Shir HaShirim. The classes are taught by esteemed Rabbis Nissan Dovid Dubov and Chaim Wolosow, clearly reading the Hebrew text following the English translation phrase by phrase, allowing the listener to follow along in the original text if they would like.
