Differing for the Sake of Heaven
Jonah Steinberg
Will abiding differences and enduring disputes pull us apart or together? Exploring poignant and fiery texts, we will encounter the sectarianism surrounding the destruction of the Temple and the subsequent development of Talmudic tradition as an historic illustration of this question and its stakes. We will ask whether those tumultuous and formative chapters of our history bear warnings and wisdom that we might apply in our own era.
Jonah Chanan Steinberg is Associate Dean at the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College where he teaches courses on rabbinic literature, liturgy, and thought.
