Louis E. Newman will lead a stimulating discussion on the topic during the Shabbat morning service with the discussion continuing after an extended kiddish. Newman is the John M. and Elizabeth W. Musser professor of religious studies at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn.

In a country divided between "red" and "blue" positions, the Torah may offer a third way. Newman's remarks explore how both political perspectives reflect values and viewpoints rooted in Judaism.

Newman is a leading scholar of Jewish ethics. His most recent book is "Repentance: the Meaning and Practice of Teshuvah" (Jewish Lights 2010). His earlier works are "Past Imperatives: Studies in the History and Theory of Jewish Ethics" and "An Introduction to Jewish Ethics."
