In modern times, some feel that Judaism/religion has been undermined by academic studies. Much of the biblical account is understood by many as folklore or myth, and even more conservative scholars admit to serious reworking of history. The authorship of the Torah is now understood to have come from multiple hands and to have been put together over centuries. Where does that leave Jewish faith and Jewish practice? Is there a way of rethinking or reimagining Jewish faith in Torah and our connection to the core narrative of Israelite history? Hear — and then join — a conversation between Richard Elliott Friedman and Zev Farber as we discuss options and ways of navigating this tension. Questions, comments and alternative suggestions will be more than welcome.
