Coming Face to Face with Text: A Workshop in Reading Philosophy Texts

Course Description

The class will only take place at Matan HaSharon, not on Zoom

A weekly study group where a contemporary Jewish philosophy text will be analyzed, discussed and critically assessed in an intimate group setting, harboring invigorating discussion and constructive dialogue. The aim of the workshop is to refine critical and analytical skills as well as to engender a deep and edifying religious approach to complex and challenging issues and thinkers.  Our vision is to create a space for open, stimulating and thought-provoking dialogue on the central and urgent questions facing Judaism today.

Due to the limited space and nature of the workshop, it will require a solid commitment  to weekly reading and attendance.
