MomentMag
Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg, a renowned thinker in Modern Orthodox and post-Holocaust theology, explores the evolving relationship between God and humanity in his latest book, "The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism." Engaging with Moment Book & Opinion Editor Amy E. Schwartz, Greenberg calls for a reevaluation of the covenant, proposing that humanity embrace its modern capabilities to challenge and eradicate societal ills such as poverty, oppression, and war. His perspective emphasizes the importance of channeling human progress towards creating a just and equitable world, in line with Judaic principles of Tikun Olam (repairing the world).
