How have Jewish communities in the Land of Israel and the Diaspora understood their relationship with one another?
In Israel & the Diaspora in Antiquity: Partnership, Dialogue, or Debate?, Professor Isaiah Gafni examines that relationship through four recorded lectures. The series considers Jewish dispersion and the possibilities of partnership, dialogue, and debate, opening with the question of whether dispersion represents punishment, blessing, or a universal mission.
Presented as the Sidney and Miriam Brettler Memorial Series 5779 at Pardes in Jerusalem, the recordings bring historical inquiry into conversation with questions and commentary from the audience.
