Crossroads in Jewish History: Mystics and Modernity and the Battle for the Jewish Soul

Details

Crossroads in Jewish History traces the pivotal events and ideas – from the Temple’s fall and the rise of Torah study to the Kabbalistic revolution and modern emancipation – that reshaped Jewish identity and destiny. Join Tamar Falkson and the Academy on an engaging thought-filled journey that looks at how the choices made at these crossroads forged the Judaism we live today. G‑d Needs Us Examine the seismic impact of the Zohar and Kabbalistic thought: its debates, its spiritual renaissance, and its far-reaching influence on movements from Chassidut to modern mystical trends. When Jews Let Go of G‑d - and G‑d Refused to Let Go Journey through the explosive era of Emancipation and Enlightenment (Haskalah). We’ll trace how Jewish identity fractured into Reform, Orthodoxy, Chareidism and secular nationalism – and analyse the surprising forces that forged modern Jewish nationhood against all odds.
