(Unterrichtssprache Englisch)
The seminar looks at positions and practices in Rabbinic Judaism (both conservative and orthodox) that address contemporary social, ethical, medical, and political challenges. We will look at how representatives of these traditions (both poskim and their critics) perceive these challenges and how they relate the traditions they consider normative to these challenges in order to formulate answers and suggest new practices. The instructor will propose a list of themes (with relevant source texts and secondary literature) but at least two sessions will be planned in collaboration with the participants of the course. Readings and discussion will be in English. close
