Profs. Sam Shonkoff, Naomi Seidman, David Biale “Old Boys” at the New Lehrhaus: The Rosenzweig-Buber-Scholem Debate Transported to 2023 - Live on Zoom

What if Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber and Gershom Scholem were transported to 2023 Berkeley and asked to teach at New Lehrhaus? How would the passing of over a century since they established and taught at Lehrhaus Judaica in Frankfurt in 1920 change their debates about God and the Commandments, Zionism and Messianism, and Adult Jewish Learning?

Three distinguished New Lehrhaus teachers—Sam ShonkoffNaomi Seidman, and David Biale—will enact an imaginary debate followed by schmoozing and refreshments a la 1920 Frankfurt.
