It is a fascinating paradox that the most invigorating and
innovative thinkers are often among the most traditional in
background and analytical style. This class will examine,
through text study and discussion, three giants of Jewish
thought: Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (Maimonides/
HaRaMbaM), Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav, and Rabbi
Abraham Joshua Heschel. Each was steeped in the
tradition; each left Judaism very different from how he had
found it. Together, they illustrate how "revolution from within"
has operated as a recurring motif in the history of Jewish
ideas, philosophy, and theology.

SERIES ALEF:
13'chol Por (In Every Generation): Identity,
Empathy, and Other Passover Themes
Session Dates: March 16, 23 and 30
The Haggadah instructs us that in every generation each
Jew must regard himself or herself as having personally
gone free out of Egypt: How did the sages of an earlier time,
who were themselves many generations removed from the
original Exodus experience, understand this challenge of
empathy and identity? What lessons do they offer us, and
how can we transmit this powerful injunction to our own
posterity? This series will illuminate these and other
questions through text study of passages from Bible,
Talmud, and the Passover Haggadah.
