About this video
In this program, Arash Abaie, in a conversation about "Loving-Kindness in Judaism," examines the place of compassion, kindness, and moral responsibility in the Jewish tradition. This discussion is a continuation of reflections on Karen Armstrong's book, *Twelve Steps to a Compassionate Life*, a work that emphasizes learning and practicing loving-kindness in both religious and non-religious traditions.
The central focus of the program is how loving-kindness is understood in Judaism and its relationship to faith, law, justice, treatment of the other, and ethical living. The conversation seeks to show that compassion in religious traditions is not merely a feeling of empathy, but can be present as a practical and educational doctrine in individual and social life.
The significance of this program lies in its provision of a comparative understanding of loving-kindness; an understanding that transcends the boundaries of a single religious tradition and approaches the shared questions of contemporary humanity about kindness, coexistence, and moral responsibility.
