Les Grands Debats de l'Histoire Juive

Debate and disputation are not only encouraged within Judaism but reside at the very heart of Jewish history and theology. The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) presents Great Debates in Jewish History, a six-session course exploring six fundamental conflicts that pit the greatest Jewish minds against each other--six instances of vastly divergent perspectives from throughout our history, including several that remain questions for us today. Discover a stirring and surprising account of Judaism's intellectual history, from the ancient to the modern-day; as you relive epochs rich in a narrative that provides fascinating context for six of the most monumental intellectual and theological debates in our history. The parade of characters presented in this course spans two millennia of biblical, rabbinic, and modern disputation, reflecting the panorama of Jewish history with its monumental political, ethical, and spiritual challenges.
