Abstract
Abstract Since the world wars, the pandemic, Covid-19, may be the first crisis to engulf us globally, but others, particularly climate change, threaten. What is the role of faith communities and the potential for ethical action for each of us as individuals? How might our theological understanding affect our decisions? This article, which is partly autobiographical, raises issues of time, truth and understanding.

It has reflected the different realities of each country and helped to rebuild Jewish consciousness after the Holocaust. The journal offers stimulating debates exploring the responses of Judaism to contemporary political, social, and philosophical challenges; articles reflecting the full range of contemporary Jewish life in Europe, and including documentation of the latest developments in Jewish-Muslim dialogue; new insights derived from science, psychotherapy, and theology as they impact upon Jewish life and thought; literary exchange as a unique exploration of ideas from leading Jewish writers, poets, scholars, and intellectuals with a variety of documentation, poetry, and book reviews section; and book reviews covering a wide range of international publications.
