Susan Weingarten, Ancient Jewish Food in Its Geographical and Cultural Contexts
Revelation in the Jewish Tradition
This chapter opens with a note on the naive concept of revelation as it appears in the Hebrew Scriptures. An account of the accommodation of Jewish thought to Hellenistic models by Philo leads to a remark on Talmud and early Jewish mysticism. Medieval philosophers such as Saadia and Maimonides attempted not only to present Jewish belief and practice in rational form but to justify its claim to possession of the only authentic revelation; the kabb…

“More than a decade of local organizing,” Steve Early writes in his introduction to Refinery Town, “made it possible to defeat candidates funded by one of the richest corporations in the world.” Th
Judaism
Out of the ghetto, into the whirlwind
What are the different ‘sects’ (or denominations as they prefer to be called) of Judaism? ‘Out of the ghetto, into the whirlwind’ asks why divisions exist and how they came about. It examines Reform and Orthodox Judaism in particular but also considers Conservative and Reconstructionist Judaism. Conservative Judaism is particularly strong in the USA, where it may be the largest single Jewish denomination. Reconstructionists call for a reappraisal…
Judaism today
No religion has emerged unchanged into the 21st century. Increasing secularization of Western governments has undermined the power of religious leadership and people’s values have changed. Lots of people have abandoned organized religion. ‘Judaism today’ examines the impact of postmodernist thinking in recent times on Judaism. World Jewry has found itself at the centre of two 20th-century events that have affected it in unique ways: the trauma of…
Who are the Jews?
There are many types of Jews, but is there any way to describe them collectively? How many of them are there? Where do they live? ‘Who are the Jews?’ considers Jewish identity by looking at how Jews have been portrayed and how they view themselves. For a long time, the surrounding cultures, Christian and Muslim, persisted in defining the Jews as ‘a people apart’, and setting up laws to ensure this separateness. Jews reacted by internalizing their…
Heschel in the Context of Modern Jewish Religious Thought
Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907–1972) hailed from a Hasidic family which numbered among its members the Rebbe of Apt, after whom he was named, and the Maggid (Preacher) of Mezhirichi (Mezhirech, in Volhynia, Ukraine), a prominent Hasidic leader in the generation following the Baal Shem Tov.1 The Judaism he first knew and mastered in his native Poland was that of Talmud, Kabbala and Bible as read and as lived in the Hasidic tradition. Throughout his …
Judaism and the ethics of war
The article surveys Jewish sources relating to the justification and conduct of war, from the Bible and rabbinic interpretation to recent times, including special problems of the State of Israel. It concludes with the suggestion that there is convergence between contemporary Jewish teaching, modern human rights doctrine and international law
