YU Library Book Talk To Hold Seminar On The Philosophy of The Lubavitcher Rebbe

by CrownHeights.info

An online seminar sponsored by the Yeshiva University will be exploring the philosophical and halachic insights from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, featuring the author of Engaging the Essence: The Philosophy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

“While the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe’s achievements in serving world Jewry are well known, his philosophical and halachic insights are seldom explored,” the advert for the seminar states. “Dr. Rabbi Yosef Bronstein, author of Engaging the Essence: The Philosophy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe (Maggid Press, 2024), will join Professor Daniel Rynhold to discuss the Rebbe’s views on topics such as free will, the State of Israel, and the role of women.”

The Zoom seminar will take place on Tuesday, January 28th, 2025, 1:00pm EST.

This talk is cosponsored by the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary.

Rabbi Yosef Bronstein, Rosh Bet Midrash of Machon Zimrat Ha’aretz—a community learning center and rabbinical training program in Israel—teaches Jewish philosophy at Yeshiva University’s Isaac Breuer College. He received smicha and a PhD in Talmudic Studies from YU. His other recently published book is The Authority of Divine Law: A Study in Tannaitic Midrash (Academic Press, 2024).

Daniel Rynhold is Dean and Professor of Jewish Philosophy at the Bernard Revel Graduate School.
