The Early Development of Jewish Universalism: From the Bible to the Rabbinic Period
This lecture will explore the origins and development of universalist thinking in biblical texts and in documents produced by Greek speaking Jews in the late Second Temple period. Understood as the invitation to all people to worship the same god without converting or assimilating, Jewish universalism solidified into an idea which became predominant in Jewish thinking during the Hellenistic era.
This class is part of an evening series open to the public in association with Drisha’s Summer Kollel.
