Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism
2021-10-20 19:00 - 20:30
Taught by Rabbi Jacob Herber
Every other Wednesday ● 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM ● via Zoom
Join Rabbi Herber for Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism, The Shalom Hartman Institute’s latest curricular project, which offers a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to philosophical ideas in Jewish peoplehood, practice, faith, and ethics. Within these four rubrics we will explore the following questions:
Peoplehood
Explores questions related to the collective experience of Jewish life: What does it mean to be part of the Jewish community? To what extent can communities hold diverse and shared values at the same time? What does Jewish Peoplehood mean today, when the centers of Jewish life, North America and Israel, are so different and independent from one another?
Faith
Explores questions related to what a relationship in God and a life of faith entails: Where does faith come from? What are the models in Jewish tradition for a complex relationship with God which includes reverence and joy, but also anger and argument? Where does doubt fit into a life of faith? Where do Jews who do not believe fit in?
Practice
Explores questions that are fundamental to Jewish practice: What is the system of mitzvot trying to accomplish? Why the need for ritual action beyond belief? How have Jewish thinkers conceived of the meaning of mitzvot in an age of radical human autonomy?
Ethics
Explores questions related to ethical obligation and decision-making: How has Jewish tradition conceived of what we owe other people? How might we approach ethical dilemmas which test our loyalties to values and to people?

How do we describe the indescribable? We will explore the connection between the difficulty of describing God and the challenge of articulating our own deepest and most moving life experiences. In the process, we will learn what Shakespeare and the Rabbis taught us about God’s uncontainability and our own.
Among the questions we will explore:

Why does it matter how we describe God?
What are the human experiences we have that we find difficult to capture in words?
What are the dangers of describing people inadequately, and what does this have to do with God?
What do great art and music have to teach us about Jewish spirituality?
What is the connection between God and the release of human potential?
