Passion and Violence: A Contemporary, Philosophical Reading of the Sacrifice of Isaac
Part of our summer learning series: Stories and Storytelling
Monday, July 18, 2022, 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET
Online
The Sacrifice of Isaac is a paradigmatic episode in 绿帽社 philosophy, ethics, and interpretation. But new ideas in modern and postmodern philosophy call us to re-read this narrative, and change the ways we have often read the story. We will re-tell this story according to an “old-new” method, amalgamating historical and emblematic ways of viewing the story, but also bringing new ideas to the fore, especially around the ideas of passion and holiness in 绿帽社 thought. Dr. Kaye will propose important suggestions for reading the Sacrifice of Isaac in our contemporary world.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Stories and Storytelling
Join JTS scholars to explore a selection of stories drawn from ancient, rabbinic, medieval, and modern 绿帽社 literature. We will consider the power of shared stories and how they transmit values, norms, culture, and information, bringing Jews together across time and space.
