Join us for an engaging conversation moderated by professor Alexander Kaye, with journalist Abigail Pogrebin and Rabbi Dov Linzer, co-authors of “It Takes Two to Torah: An Orthodox Rabbi and Reform Journalist Discuss and Debate Their Way Through the Five Books of Moses,” as they bring their dynamic and thought-provoking approach to Torah study to life.
Born out of a lively podcast series for Tablet Magazine, this book presents a unique, candid, and animated exchange between Pogrebin, a Reform journalist, and Linzer, an Orthodox rabbi, as they navigate the Five Books of Moses together. With humor, insight, and personal reflection, they model how Torah can be a source of conversation across perspectives—whether in families on Shabbat, classrooms of all ages, or for anyone seeking a fresh, accessible, and deeply relevant way to engage with Jewish tradition.
In this special event, Pogrebin and Linzer will share their experience of meeting in the middle—intellectually, theologically, and personally—to explore the richness of Torah in a way that is both irreverent and instructive. Come ready for a fascinating discussion that invites you to join “the oldest book club in the world.”
