Parashat HaShavua Seminar with Avivah Zornberg
3 episodes , 4h 4m
In this seminar, Rabbi Nathan Lopes Cardozo engages in conversation with Dr. Avivah Zornberg, whose unique approach to Torah blends Midrash, literature, and psychoanalytic insight. Together, they explore the weekly parashah not as a static narrative, but as a living text filled with ambiguity, tension, and emotional depth.
Dr. Zornberg’s method highlights the inner worlds of biblical characters, revealing hidden motivations and unresolved conflicts beneath the surface of the story.
The discussion opens up new ways of reading Torah—less as a source of fixed answers and more as an invitation into ongoing interpretation, where meaning emerges through careful listening, imagination, and intellectual openness.
