Exile and the Jews
This series will examine Jewish responses to exile from the biblical period to the modern day. Considering texts from all genres of Jewish literary, we will explore how the realities and interpretations of exile have shaped Judaism, Jewish politics, and individual Jewish identity for millennia. The word "exile" and its Hebrew equivalent, galut, evoke darkness, bleakness - and yet the condition offers spiritual renewal and endangers great expressions of Jewish cultural creativity.
Please join us for the following classes:
- Exile as Human Condition (September 4th)
- Exile in Ancient History (September 18, Otcober 9 and 23)
- Exile and Holidays (November 6 and December 4)
- Divine Presence in Exile (December 18 and January 8)
- Exile as Penance and Atonement (January 22 and February 5)
- Life in Exile (February 12 and March 5)
- Internalized Exile (March 26 and April 2)
- Exile in Medieval and Modern History (April 16 and April 30)
- Language as the Locus of Exile (May 14)
- Negation, Ambivalence, Affirmation of Exile (May 28 and June 11)
- Make-up Day (June 25)

Wednesdays, 1 - 2:30 PM, Social Hall Ever since Abraham’s famous argument with God, Judaism has been full of debate. Moses and Korah, David and Nathan, Hillel and Shammai, the Vilna Gaon and the Ba’al Shem Tov, Spinoza and the Amsterdam Rabbis . . . the list goes on. No wonder that Judaism cherishes the expression machloket l’shem shamayim, “an argument for the sake of heaven.” Beyond their historical importance, what makes these disputations so compelling is that nearly all of them, regardless of their epochs, are still being argued. The parade of characters spanning three millennia of biblical, rabbinic, and modern disputation reflects the panorama of Jewish history with its monumental political, ethical, and spiritual challenges. This series will examine Jewish responses to exile from the biblical period to our modern day. Considering texts from all genres of Jewish literary creativity, we will explore how the realities and iterpretaions Join as we re-open these timeless debates that lead us to the core of 3,000 years of Jewish conversation. • Justice: Abraham vs. God (October 19) • Holiness and Authority: Moses vs. Korah (November 9) • Inclusion: The Five Daughters vs. the Twelve Tribes (November 30) • Accountability and Morality: David vs. Nathan (December 21) • Resistance: Ben Zakkai vs. the Zealots (January 18) • Law: Hillel vs. Shammai (February 15) • Spirituality: The Vilna Gaon vs. the Baal Shem Tov (March 15) • Boundaries: Spinoza vs. the Amsterdam Rabbis (April 19) • Religious Evolution: Geiger vs. Hirsch vs. Frankel (May 10) • Zionism: Herzl vs. Wise (May 31)
