The Concept of a Universal Humanity, Social Justice and National Individuality in Modern Jewish Thought
Yossi Turner, Padnos Visiting Professor
One of the major themes of modern Jewish thought is the ever-changing relationship between the identity of Jews as a group and the concept of a universal humanity. This lecture tries to show that one of the major differences between Jewish thought in Israel and the North American diaspora is to be found in the opposing ways in which each understands national and ethnic individuality in connection with the idea of a universal humanity.
