Description

A Jewish Public Theology draws from Halakhah, Jewish law, to address some of the most searing current policy issues.

Abraham Unger examines how Jewish tradition speaks to globalization and its attendant political and economic cleavages.

Classical Jewish thought sits on a perch outside of the defining parameters of the global political conversation and as such cannot be pigeon holed as populist, leftist, or rightist.

Judaism was born in antiquity and therefore predates by millennia these current ideological biases.

That intellectual distance, both due to the long arc of Jewish history, and outsider minority status as a tradition, allows for a critical distance.

Unger explores how the Jewish tradition compels the living out of a public policy framework through the forging of equitable communities using arguments that go beyond political orthodoxies.

In this socially fragile era, the possibility of that message offers a hopeful discourse of significant possibility for all humankind.
