Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg on the third phase of Jewish history

Published: March 11, 2011, 8 a.m.

If the first phase of Jewish history was biblical, and the second phase rabbinic, Rabbi Irving (Yitz) Greenberg believes that we’re now in the third phase – post Holocaust and the modern state of Israel – where G-d is more hidden and the role of the Jewish people is to truly be a light unto the nations. In this talk he sets this viewpoint in context of all that has taken place and inspires us to behave in acknowledgement that we are all created in G-d’s image.
