Courses at the SAJ in New York

Start: Nov 28 2007 - 7:30pm

The Society for the Advancement of Judaism is offering two courses to the public:

"Judaism: Between Theology and Praxis"
Does Judaism demand belief? Many Jews, from lay people to scholars, believe that a basic distinction between Judaism and Christianity is that Judaism is concerned with action rather than belief. This course will examine key moments in the development of this widely shared bias, focusing on political as well as theological reasons why modern thinkers have emphasized "doing" over "believing".

Wednesdays, Nov. 28; Dec. 5, 12 and 19 at 7:30 pm

"The Feminist Reinvention of Jewish Ritual"

Tuesdays, March 4, 11, 25, April 1, 8 at 7:30 pm
