Genesis 22–the description of the patriarch Abraham’s binding of his son Isaac and the angelic intervention that followed–is a key text in the Jewish tradition, and forms part of the Torah reading for Rosh Hashanah. Join philosopher Dr. Michael Chighel (Milton Friedman Egyetem, Budapest) and historian Dr. Henry Abramson (Touro College, New York) for a conversation on the way this moving Biblical passage has resonated throughout Jewish culture over the centuries. Moderated by Mr. David Kraus (Jewish Museum of Prague).
Wednesday, September 16 @ 1:00 PM EDT
Michael Chighel holds a doctorate in Philosophy and is the author of Kabale: Das Geheimnis Des Hebraischen Humanismus Im Lichte Von Heideggers Denken (Klostermann, 2020)
Henry Abramson is currently working on a multi-volume survey of Jewish History for Koren Publishers, Jerusalem.
