The Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks will be delivering a series of lectures on “Difference and Democracy in the Post-Secular World” in the Dome Room at the Rotunda at 3 PM on October 11, 12, ad 13, 2010. This lecture series is sponsored by The Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture.
The Chief Rabbi is a frequent contributor to radio, television and the national press. Check out his full biography here.
Please register to attend one or more of these lectures. (Attendance is free of charge.) For more detailed information, visit The Institute’s event calendar post. Please note that the lectures are held in The Rotunda, not Watson Manor.
New City Arts seeks to wrestle with deep questions of art, faith, and humanity and seeks to inspire conversation regarding the significance of human creativity. We think these local lectures are an opportunistic forum for such an exchange.
