Rabbi Victor Gross is reimagining religion as a force of unity—not division

JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Victor Gross discusses the concept of "deep ecumenism" as a transformative approach to interfaith dialogue, promoting religious unity rather than division. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself.
  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.

"And let me run this by you because I had no idea where his theology was. I said, Pastor Larry. If the Messiah comes tomorrow and it's Jesus. Then the Jews were wrong for over 2000 years. But if the Messiah comes and it's not Jesus, then you guys were misled and hoodwinked for 2000 years. But if the Messiah comes and she is a black, gay woman, lesbian, we both win. And he looked at me. Had me a big smile, broke out on his face and said, Yep, that's how you overcome it."
