READING ASSIGNMENTS for Between Tradition and Modernity: Can Jews Live in Two Worlds and Still be Distinctive?

We strongly encourage participants in the NGFP online philosophy course to prepare for each week's email discussion by downloading the lesson's document, and reading Prof. Rosenak's introductions and primary sources. Questions will be raised and discussed via email. A supplemental biography has been provided for each lesson for those so inclined to deepen their background knowledge.
