This is the third lecture of a five part series that Dr. Zohar Raviv is presenting at Alma College in Tel Aviv. This lecture is on Divine Authorship – Human Authority: from Bible to Rabbis. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven (Ecc. 3A time to be born. In search of meaning – The Biblical Paradigm: Axes Mundi This series is a great opportunity to help to understand the vast and intricate matrix that makes up being Jewish. Knowledge is everything. It allows for the uniqueness of the divine individual to understand itself, and the ability to dialogue creating a communal experience. I strongly urge you all to take the time to listen to Zohar’s lectures. They are both enlightening and challenging.

Here are the links to the previous two lectures in this series.

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”.
