Robots Who Pray and Other Pressing Jewish Questions of Our Time with Judea Pearl and Nadine Epstein

Join Israeli American computer scientist and philosopher Judea Pearl for a wide-ranging conversation about his new book, Coexistence and Other Fighting Words: Selected Writings of Judea Pearl, 2002–2025. Pearl explores some of the most urgent and provocative questions facing Jewish life today: Can an atheist still find meaning in Jewish practice? Why do rituals and tradition continue to matter in a technological age? And if artificial intelligence becomes more human-like, might robots one day adopt rituals of their own? He also addresses Zionophobia, Jewish identity, ethics, technology, and the future of coexistence in an increasingly polarized world. In conversation with Moment Editor-in-Chief Nadine Epstein.
