5773 in earnest, or: Science and religion

Well, although I'm posting a little late, that's the Jewish festival season - or one of them - over for another year, and we are well into 5773. The next Jewish festival is Hanukkah, which starts this year in early December, or as the old joke goes, on the twenty-fifth of Kislev - same as every year! In the meantime I wanted to share with you two videos by the Orthodox Chief Rabbi of the Commonwealth Jonathan Sacks, made for Rosh Hashana. The first is a dialogue between Lord Sacks and three eminent, non-religious scientists, including Richard Dawkins, controversial author of "The God Delusion". The second is the Chief Rabbi's annual address for Selichot, the penitential service before Rosh Hashana. I will post more about them in a couple of days.
