Jewish Theological Revolutions:
Three Radical Ways Jews Have Thought about God 
with Rabbi Joseph Skloot
Sundays
April 7th, 14th and 28th
9:30-11:00am
IN PERSON ONLY
 
Rabbi Joseph A. Skloot, Ph.D. is the Rabbi Aaron D. Panken Assistant Professor of Modern Jewish Intellectual History at HUC-JIR/New York. He is an historian of Jewish culture and religious thought, and the author of First Impressions: Sefer Hasidim and Early Modern Hebrew Printing (Brandeis University Press, 2023).
 
This class is an opportunity to consider how Jews in the past asked the biggest questions about God and God’s role in the world, and thereby explore the intersection of history and theology. We will reflect on three transformative moments in modern Jewish history, the expulsion from Spain, the Age of Reason, and the birth of Reform Judaism. We will read related primary sources and discuss their meaning in their own time and their meaning for us today. No background necessary, only a sense of wonder and curiosity.
