Judaism's Great Debates aims to reawaken that spirit in the lives of young Jews today.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book are ten classic debates from Jewish history, such as Nathan courageously confronting King David over the king's immorality, and Spinoza challenging Jewish communal leaders in Amsterdam about the boundaries of Jewish belief. This book teaches students to analyze the value conflict at the core of each historic debate, and more importantly, it prepares them to apply Jewish values to similar conflicts in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbraham \u0026amp; God\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoses \u0026amp; Korach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Five Daughters \u0026amp; the Twelve Tribes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDavid \u0026amp; Nathan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBen Zakkai \u0026amp; the Zealots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHillel \u0026amp; Shammai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Vilna Gaon \u0026amp; the Ba'al Shem Tov\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpinoza \u0026amp; the Amsterdam Rabbis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeiger, Hirsch \u0026amp; Frankel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHerzl \u0026amp; Wise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDownload a free companion PDF - Debating Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncludes questions for reflection, discussion, and formal argumentation plus a brief outline explaining how to run a formal debate in the classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Behrman House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51580186067218,"sku":"9780874418521","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ee9c299a-453f-4f84-b453-d2d617201312.jpg?v=1756210114","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/judaisms-great-debates-9780874418521","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
