SUMMARY:Exclusive Authors Series with Anne Albert
DESCRIPTION:ASF’s Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nExclusive Authors Series with Anne Albert\nJoin us for another episode of Exclusive Authors Series where Anne Albert discusses her book “Jewish Politics in Spinoza’s Amsterdam.” \nThursday\, 8 June at 12:00 PM EDT \n(Complimentary RSVP) \nAbout the book: \nThis book untangles a web of ideas about politics\, religion\, exile\, and community that emerged at a key moment in Jewish history and left a lasting mark on Jewish ideas. In the shadow of their former member Baruch Spinoza’s notoriety\, and amid the aftermath of the Sabbatian messianic movement\, the Spanish and Portuguese Jews of seventeenth-century Amsterdam underwent a conceptual shift that led them to treat their self-governed diaspora community as a commonwealth. Preoccupied by the question of why and how Jews should rule themselves in the absence of a biblical or messianic sovereign state or king\, they forged a creative synthesis of insights from early modern Christian politics and Jewish law and traditions to assess and argue over their formidable communal government. In so doing they shaped a proud new theopolitical self-understanding of their community as analogous to a Christian state. \nAbout the author: \nAnne Oravetz Albert is the Klatt Family Director for Public Programs at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. \nClick here or more about the book.
