The purpose of this study group is to define the conflict that exists today in Israel between the ultra-orthodox and the rest of Judaism. In order to understand this struggle, it is necessary to follow the development of Judaism from its beginnings both historically and theologically. This course, the first of several, will cover Moses, Exile, Essenes, Romans, Pharisees, Torah, Mishnah and Talmud.
Class is limited to 20 members.
ROBERT STRAUSS has offered eight prior ILEAD courses on the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament): Adam and Beginnings, Abraham and the Patriarchs, Moses and the Exodus, Joshua and the Promised Land, Samuel and the Judges, David and the Monarchy, Elijah and the Prophets, and Prophets of the Exile. In his professional life he has been a rocket scientist and a educational consultant.
