Check out our high school offerings at www.tikvahfund.org/hs  In this episode, Ari explores with Shuli Taubes the theological and social implications of the Jewish doctrine of election in the modern Western context. In her course, she explores the subject using a variety of lenses, including the propositions of divine free love (“Grace”), inherent superiority, Abraham’s initiative, and pluralism. Students study with her the writings of several modern Jewish theologians—including Joseph B. Soloveitchik, Michael Wyschogrod, Jon D. Levenson, and Jonathan Sacks—and the pre-modern sources that animate their thought as we consider the origins, development, and limits of Jewish “chosenness.”  Shuli Taubes serves as a faculty member at SAR High School in Riverdale, New York, where she teaches Tanakh, Jewish Identity, Comparative Religion and chairs the Jewish Philosophy department.  Read more about the course: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fdt8darnadbbboi/What%20is%20Chosenness%20-%20Reader.pdf?dl=0

Jewish "Chosenness" - Shuli Taubes

As Jews we are constantly reminded, “Be kind to the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt” and the Pesach seder begins with the words, “Whoever is hungry, let him come and eat; whoever is in need, let him come and conduct the Seder of Passover.” Shuli Taubes will focus on developing a definition of the word ger (stranger) in Tanakh and rabbinic Judaism and its implications for how we think of ourselves in relation to the exodus from Egypt.

Shuli Taubes on You Were Strangers in the Land of Egypt: A Redemptive Reflection on ‘Strangers’ in Judaism

We go into this time of year believing that we have control over the divine decree by committing to Teshuvah, Tefillah and Tzedakah. How does the brutal death of ten blameless, righteous leaders of a generation fit into this paradigm? Part of the Stanley Rudoff Memorial High Holy Day Lecture Series.
