In this video, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi discusses the tennents and impetus behind Jewish Renewal. He begins by reciting Modeh Ani (traditional prayer upon waking up in the morning) and using the liturgy as a jumping off point for his definition of Jewish Renewal. Topics discussed throughout include: how the Holocaust prompted the Jewish community to restore tradition, his experience at the Lubovitch yeshiva with Jewish Mysticism, his realization that there was a communication problem between conventional denominations of Judaism and their followers, the integration of mysticism into Jewish Renewal, the integration of feminism into Jewish Renewal, and the integration of social consciousness (including political activism) into Jewish Renewal. Summing up his views on tradition, Zalman notes the past has a vote, but not a veto.
