Continuing the Quest

The discussion continues! The videos that you can access from this page are recordings of seminars and lectures mostly directly on the subject of Jewish Theology as posed in the thoughts of Rabbi Jacobs. They are unedited full length videos and in some cases there is more than one video from a session.

We have had excellent feedback from the original Louis Jacobs videos and would be pleased to receive your comments on this growing series of videos. The intention is to considerably add to this video collection and if you have or are able to capture and provide videos of any similar events or even your own "lecture" we will certainly consider them for publication.

The many videos recorded prior to 7th November 2019 are available from the video archive on our open site >

Ben Fromson – The Problem of Evil and the Cost of the Solution – Lecture 4

Horrendous things happen to decent people. Despite this fact, monotheists insist that their beliefs and practices are reasonable. Unfortunately, many Jewish educators think that it is enough to raise the issue, note the tension, and move on. This lecture aims to do better, and calls on other educators to do so too. We will explore… Continue Reading ➨

Ben Fromson – God of the Philosophers – Lecture 3

Many philosophers have tried to demonstrate that God exists. Say that they are right – so what? This lecture will argue that the “God of the Philosophers” is far from indifferent, and even worthy of worship. We will focus on two things God might do for us, concerning morality and religious experience. ...
