Undergraduate Seminar: Jewish Thought and Enduring Human QuestionsAugust 1 to August 11, 2010 |
The Tikvah Project on Jewish Thought at Princeton University sponsored a summer program for undergraduates in August 2010. Students from universities in North America, Israel and elsewhere around the world came to Princeton to study Jewish texts, Jewish thought, and Jewish perspectives on the great questions of human life. Leora Batnitzky, Director of the Tikvah Project at Princeton was joined by Allan Arkush (State University of New York) and Alan Mittleman (Jewish Theological Seminary) as seminar leaders. Topics included Creation and Redemption, Love and Death, Justice and Injustice, Law and Authority, and God and Politics. Students read and discussed classic Jewish and Western texts, heard lectures by renowned professors, and met for advising sessions with visiting faculty.
