BOOK LAUNCH | “The Grand Worldview of Rav Uziel” with Rabbi Marc Angel

February 17, 2026    
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Tuesday, February 17 | 7:00 pm (after 6:30 pm Evening Services)
At Shearith Israel

Presented by the Ḥabura, in collaboration with the Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals

Rabbi Ben-Zion Meir Ḥai Uziel—Sephardic Chief Rabbi of the Land of Israel and a towering yet underappreciated Torah leader—articulated a Judaism both deeply faithful and boldly engaged with the modern world. Drawing on his writings, Loving Truth and Peace presents his vision on halakhah in a Jewish state, women in Jewish law, conversions, nationalism, and religious tolerance.

Against rigidity on one side and dilution on the other, Rav Uziel offers a principled, compassionate path rooted in Torah, intellectually serious, and entirely committed to the pursuit of truth and peace.
