Jewish Ideas to Change the World

Professor Shaul Magid, The Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Chair in Jewish Studies Professor of Jewish Studies and Religious Studies at Indiana University (www.indiana.edu/~jsp/index.shtml), presents his lecture "Why Should Progressive Jews be Interested in Hasidism?" before a roundtable lecture at The New Shul (http:/www.thenewshul.org/) in Scottsdale, AZ.

This lecture was co-sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies at Arizona State University. Visit them at https://jewishstudies.clas.asu.edu/

ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Modern and even quite liberal iterations of Hasidism have increasingly become a kind of default Jewish theology for many American Jews. But why should progressive American Jews be interested in Hasidism? What does it offer us that non-Hasidic versions of Judaism do not? How does it respond to the more conventional notions of Jewish life and spirituality in America?
