Tribalism is the drive to divide human populations into “us” versus “them”. It is a thread that has run through the fabric of Jewish life since biblical times.

This Zoom conversation with Rabbi Dr. David E. S. Stein will take account of relatively recent scientific findings about tribalism as a fluid part of human nature, and how that understanding can shed light on topics of abiding interest to Jews: the Tanakh’s stories and laws, Middle East politics, the cyclical nature of antisemitism, and more. In our discussion, we will look for the rays of hope among the often-overcast sky.
