Cornerstones: The Bible and Jewish Ideology
The Tanakh is the cornerstone of Jewish thought and religious life. The serious study of Tanakh requires constant effort, as we sift through the commentaries who are locked in a perpetual state of debate. At the same time, we have a sacred duty to move seamlessly beyond the textual analysis in order to build a robust religious life and a virtuous and inclusive society, and partake of the living experience of God and humanity.
Master educator Rabbi Hayyim Angel focuses on that intersection between text analysis and an authentic religious life. These scholarly articles—written in an engaging, accessible, and lucid manner—explore an array of seminal religious topics from biblical and rabbinic tradition, The Land of Israel, biblical and contemporary morality, Sephardic biblical interpreters from the past 500 years, and dogma in Jewish tradition, among others. By understanding these foundational issues, readers of all backgrounds will connect more deeply to their religious roots and apply these discussions in their daily lives.
