Evolve is an online platform with conversation-sparking essays from thought-provoking rabbis, leaders and creators.
Evolve: Groundbreaking Jewish Conversations is an initiative of Reconstructing Judaism. We seek to promote the ongoing evolution of the Jewish community by facilitating communal conversations about the urgent issues of our day.
Evolve does not endorse every viewpoint posted on this site. Our goal is to cultivate groundbreaking, constructive, respectful conversations about urgent issues of concern. We choose to post submissions of a range of viewpoints that supports constructive debate while abiding by the values of tzelem Elohim (regarding and treating all people as created in the divine image), kavod (respect), redifat shalom (pursuing peace) and makhloket leshem shamayim (disagreements for the sake of heaven).
Submissions are curated by the Evolve staff in consultation with an advisory board. We reserve the right to decline posts that are contrary to our stated values of respectful communal discourse.
