Beyond Dispute: Debates that Shape Jewish Life- Course Curriculum from the Jewish Theological Seminary
Debates—philosophical, spiritual, ethical, and cultural—are at the heart of Judaism and Jewish life. Are religion and reason compatible? Can Jewish law change, based on context? How do we teach and talk about the Holocaust and the State of Israel? Should we prioritize Jewish causes or universal causes in our giving? Is Jewish tradition intrinsically patriarchal and ableist? Is our relationship with God defined by human obligation or divine compassion?
Beyond Dispute is a substantive, text-based exploration of how these debates have been manifested over the course of Jewish history, and a rich discussion about their continued resonance for contemporary Jewish life. The course enables teachers and students alike to go beyond the conflicts themselves to uncover the essential questions that underlie them, and to build a more inclusive view of the Jewish past, present, and future.
Date: Thursdays, Beginning January 13, 20, 27, February 3, 10, March 3, 10, 24,31, April 7
Time: 7:45-9pm
Place: NCJC
Instructor: Rabbis Berkman and Graber
There will be Fee for this Course of $18.00 to cover Binder and Written Course Materials.
