035: From Awe to Action: A Conversation with Clive Lawton
In this episode of The Rest is Commentary, host Shep Rosenman sits down with Jewish educator and storyteller Clive Lawton to explore the song “Weaving a Garment of Light” (“Work of Our Hands”), inspired by Psalm 19, and the balance between cosmic awe and everyday responsibility. They talk about Jewish thought’s embrace of contrasting ideas, the call to social and moral action, and the dangers of rigid, binary thinking in a world shaped by technology and AI. They also delve into Holocaust education, communal duty, hope for the Mashiach (Messiah), and concrete ways Jews can engage locally, globally, and creatively through their work and tradition.
