Abraham Joshua Heschel Course

Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel is one of the more enduring theologians of the Jewish people. He wove together Biblical theology, Talmud, Medieval philosophy, and Hasidism with the best of modern philosophy (from Schleiermacher to phenomenology to James and Dewey) into a coherent explanation of religion in general and Judaism in particular. Today, when Conservative Judaism is too often dismissed as a brand, it is hard to fully appreciate that Heschel is simultaneously an iconic religious thinker and also the main expositor of Conservative Jewish  philosophy through the very same writings.

In this five session course, we'll read and discuss excerpts of Heschel's thought with explanations from Rav Nadav.
