By focusing on the suppressed or denied heritage of Jewish and Islamic philosophy that helped shape Western society, it offers possibilities for recovering broader dimensions beyond a narrow rationalism and materialism. For those impatient with recent one-dimensional dismissals of religion, and surprised by their popularity, it offers a timely reminder of the sources of these views in the Enlightenment, but also the wider humane dimensions of the religious quest that still need to be considered. By recognising the contribution of gender and post-colonial studies it reminds us that philosophy, “the love of wisdom”, is still concerned with the whole human being and the complexity of personal and social relationships.’ Jonathan Magonet, formerly Principal of Leo Baeck College, London, and Vice-President of the Movement for Reform Judaism ‘Jewish Philosophy and Western Culture makes a spirited and highly readable plea for “Jerusalem” over “Athens” – that is, for recovering the moral and spiritual virtues of ancient Judaism within a European and Western intellectual culture that still has a preference for Enlightenment rationalism. Victor Seidler revisits the major Jewish philosophers of the last century as invaluable sources of wisdom for Western philosophers and social theorists in the new century. He calls upon the latter to reclaim body and heart as being inseparable from “mind.”’ Peter Ochs, Edgar Bronfman Professor of Modern Judaic Studies, University of Virginia Jewish_Prelims_i-xvi NEW.qxp 25/10/07 14:06 Page iii JEWISH PHILOSOPHY AND WESTERN CULTURE A Modern Introduction VICTOR J.

  • Sybil Sheridan History of Women in the Rabbinate
    Sybil Sheridan History of Women in the Rabbinate: a Case of Communal Amnesia* It seems strange to be offering as history something that has in the main occurred in my own lifetime. Part of this makes me feel very old, as when my son asked me: “Mummy, was it the first world war or the second world war when you were a little girl?” But the history actually goes back quite some way: not just to 1976, when Rabbi Jacqueline Tabick was first ordained in England, nor to the ordination of Rabbi Sally Priesand in the USA in 1972, but at least a century. Why have we not heard of it? Because up to this moment, the history of women in the Rabbinate can be summed up quite neatly as a history of forgetting – a case of communal amnesia. To explain, I must apologise for beginning with a very personal moment in my own life, the day in October 1993 when Dr Hermann Simon, director of the Zentrum Judaicum Foundation in Berlin, came to the Leo Baeck College in London and presented a gift: a photograph and the ordination certificate of Rabbi Regina Jonas, ordained in Germany in 1935. The story of Rabbi Jonas may be well known to some; to others it will be new. Regina Jonas was born on 3 August 1902 in Berlin1 and at the age of 21 began working as a teacher of religion in the Orthodox Jewish School where her brother, Abraham also taught. Not content just to be a teacher, she * This article is based on a lecture given at Bet Deborah, Berlin to the European Conference of Women Rabbis, Cantors and Scholars, 13-16 May 1999 / 27 Iyar – 1 Sivan 5759; a shorter version has been published in German in the report of the conference: Sybil Sheridan, “Der Geschichte nicht trauen,” in: Bet Debora Berlin, Journal Nr.

  • 'TO GIVE YOU a FUTURE and a HOPE' Kol Nidrey: There Is No Other Moment That Compares to the Enveloping Enchantment of This S
    ‘TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE’ Kol Nidrey: there is no other moment that compares to the enveloping enchantment of this sacred service. From the first minutes of silence, accompanied only by the faint tinkling of the bells of the rimonim that adorn the Torah scrolls, through the haunting inflections of Kol Nidrey and the other special Yom Kippur melodies, to the rousing rendition of Avinu Malkeinu in front of the open Ark a few moments ago. Our gathering this evening, pulses with the accumulated heartbeats of all the generations, who went before us on our people’s annual sacred pilgrimage towards Atonement. And yet, we have not stepped back in time. The Hebrew date may be the same as the date first mentioned in the Torah: the 10th day of the seventh month,1 but the other calendar that regulates our lives tells us that today is the October 11, 2016. Of course, every generation of Jews throughout millennia has observed this sacred moment in the context of their own particular time and place. And so, like the generations before us, we have brought with us this evening, our experiences of the past year, and our memories of everything that has happened since we last gathered together on Kol Nidrey; the special moments and challenges, milestones and losses we have experienced and witnessed in our own personal lives, within our congregation, and our other communities, and in the wider society. So, how do we negotiate our lives as Jews in Britain in the 21st century for the sake of a Jewish future in this nexus between the complex legacies of the past we carry with us and the challenges of the present that confront us?
