SUMMARY:Judaism Confronting Science
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Phil Cohen. Dr. Jonathan Crane\, Geoffery Mitelman\n\nFor centuries Judaism understood science to be a partner. Jewish thinkers did not see a contradiction between science and Torah. It is Norbert Samuelson’s contention in his book Jewish Faith and Modern Science that\, for various historical and philosophical reasons\, that synthesis has been left behind. He further argues that Jews need to reconceive that synthesis for the future. In this session three Reform rabbis will discuss Samuelson’s thesis. Their discussion will come from Samuelson’s book\, as well as from the work they did in their contributions to the recently published edition of the CCAR Journal (Winter 2012)\, devoted to the topic of Judaism and science. This session will provide participants with the opportunity to engage in this important intellectual and spiritual issue. Are the demands of science so important as to threaten the integrity of the Jewish tradition if an acceptable intellectual approach is not found?

SUMMARY:Ahad Ha'Am and the Reform Movement: On the Prospects for Modern Judaism (Taught in Hebrew)
DESCRIPTION:Michael Marmur\n\nIn this session\, to be taught in Hebrew\, we will consider some aspects of Ahad Ha’am’s complex relationship with Reform Judaism\, focusing in particular on a fascinating and little-known exchange between the father of cultural Zionism\, Ahad Ha’am (Asher Ginsberg\, 1856-1927) and David Neumark (1866-1924)\, a professor of philosophy at the Hebrew Union College. At stake is the question of whether a modern Judaism incorporating both national and credal dimensions is possible.
