The Role of Jerusalem in the 21st Century (S3, E31)

A vision for the future of Jerusalem—and what it means for all of us.In this episode of Judaism in the 21st Century, Rabbi Cohen shares a deeply personal and forward-looking story: the creation of a new kind of community in Jerusalem—one rooted not in uniformity, but in openness, kindness, and shared purpose.What does it mean to build a synagogue not in our own image, but in God’s image?How can Jerusalem, a city often defined by division, become a model of unity?This conversation connects past to present—from the reunification of Jerusalem in 1967 to the responsibility we carry today to actively shape a redemptive future.This is not just about a place. It’s about a mindset—and a call to participate in building something greater.
