Zohar Raviv
In this period before the New Year we thought it appropriate to share this four part series of lectures by Zohar Raviv on Jewish thought and Life. This is a very special series by a very wonderful educator and friend. Dr. Zohar Raviv is a world-renowned educator of Judaism, whose academic and professional experience span Israel, North-America, Europe, South-Africa and Australia. Raviv holds a B.A in Land of Israel Studies (Bar-Ilan University), a Joint M.A in Jewish Thought and Education (Brandeis University), as well as an M.A in Near-Eastern Studies and a Ph.D in Jewish Thought and Mysticism (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor).
Raviv recently assumed the position of Chief Education Officer for Taglit-Birthright Israel, after finishing his tenure as Assistant professor of Jewish Studies at Oberlin College (Ohio). These are a series of videos of the first session of 4 lectures that Dr. Raviv is presenting on Key Paradigms of Jewish Thought and Life. This first one is on The Evolving “One” : Ideas of God in Jewish Discourse. It is both fascinating and thought provoking. He provides a variety of approaches in understanding the Philosophical, Theological, and Religious implications in the origin of the “Jewish” God. “Eventually the human mind will express the necessity of “One”.
