RLG 247 - Issues in Contemporary Jewish Thought: Whither the 21st Century (3 Cr.) (JS 247 )
What it means to be Jewish and how to live a Jewish life have always led to questions about God, about Torah, and about the Jewish people-and often in reaction to what is happening in the non-Jewish world. This course examines these question from writings of Ahad Ha-am, Herman Cohen, Leo Baeck, Franz Rosenweig, Abraham Issac Kuk, Martin Buber, Abraham J. Heschel, Emil Fackenheim, Joseph Soloveitchik, Rachel Adler (Jewish feminist), and Emanuel Levinas. Our goal is to see if we can detect a glimpse of the Jewish future. This course is sponsored in part by the Jewish Chautauqua Society. Prerequisite: one course in religion or philosophy or sophomore standing. Spring semester.
