Nathan Lopes Cardozo, Dutch-Israeli Rabbi, Philosopher & Scholar of Judaism

Jewish People & Ideas: Conversations with Jewish Thought Leaders

Nathan Lopes Cardozo is a Dutch-Israeli rabbi, philosopher, and scholar of Judaism. A sought-after lecturer on the international stage for both Jewish and non-Jewish audiences, Cardozo is known for his original and often controversial insights into Judaism. He’s the author of 13 books and the founder of the David Cardozo Academy. I sat down with Rabbi Cardozo at his office to discuss his unique upbringing, his philosophy of halachic Judaism, the Reform movement, the Kotel agreement, the Holocaust, God and much more.
