Should they attempt to do so? If not, what could two methods of study seen as diametrically opposed possibly learn from one another? How might they help each other reconceive of their interrelationship, themselves, and the broader study of Jews and Judaism? This book begins with three distinct approaches to these challenges. The chapters then follow the approaches through an interdisciplinary series of pioneering case studies that reassess a range of topics including religion and pluralism in Jewish education; pain, sexual consent, and ethics in the Talmud; the place of reason and devotion among Jewish thinkers as diverse as Moses Mendelssohn, Jacob Taubes, Sarah Schenirer, Ibn Chiquitilla, Yair Ḥayim Bacharach, and the Rav Shagar; and Jewish law as a response to the post-Holocaust landscape. The authors are scholars of rabbinics, history, linguistics, philosophy, law, and education, many of whom also have traditional religious training or ordination. The result is a book designed for learned scholars, non-specialists, and students of varying backgrounds, and one that is sure to spark debate in the university, the beit midrash, and far beyond"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on print version record. 500 Includes index. 650 0 Judaism |xStudy and teaching. 650 0 Jews |xIntellectual life. 650 0 Rabbinical literature |xHistory and criticism. 650 0 Universities and colleges. 776 08 |iPrint version:Katz, Ethan B. |tWhen Jews Argue |dMilton : Taylor & Francis Group,c2023 |z9781032427409 700 1 Katz, Ethan, |eeditor. 700 1 Dolgopolʹskiĭ, S.
