Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism
2022-03-23 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?

About Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin
With the regular appearance of his award-winning blog, “Martini Judaism: for those who want to be shaken and stirred,” published by the Religion News Service, Jeffrey Salkin has risen to the forefront of being one of American Judaism’s most prolific and most-quoted rabbis and thought leaders.
Ever since his first book, Putting God on the Guest List: How to Reclaim The Spiritual Meaning of Your Child’s Bar or Bat Mitzvah (Jewish Lights Publishing), Rabbi Salkin has been known for his writing, teaching and activism. His books are on such subjects as making Jewish ritual meaningful; struggling with the meaning of masculinity in today’s world; interpreting Israel and Zionism to Jews and non-Jews; and the task of reclaiming Judaism’s central role as a takes-no-prisoners, speak-truth-to-power-and-culture religious tradition.
Because of his national reputation as an American Jewish thought leader, the Chautauqua Institution, America’s iconic educational and cultural community, invited Rabbi Salkin to deliver the keynote address for its week on religion, in summer, 2020.
Rabbi Salkin’s essays have appeared in the Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Tablet, Mosaic, Forward, and JTA. He has discussed the American political scene on CNN and the BBC. He has contributed articles to scholarly journals. Several of his books have won national awards.
His colleagues have described him as “courageous,” “always relevant,” and “one of American Judaism’s true public intellectuals.”
Rabbi Salkin serves as the rabbi of Temple Israel in West Palm Beach, Florida. His hobbies include playing guitar, reading voraciously, and consuming vast quantities of coffee.
