Jewish Thinkers
This eight-part series, generously sponsored by Common Era, offers an engaging and accessible introduction to some of the most important thinkers from the Jewish tradition. It features a wide range of figures, from rabbis to rebels, from philosophers to fiction-writers, and from psychologists to socialists. Each episode examines and debates the core ideas of one of these thinkers, examines the influence these ideas had in their time, and explores their continuing relevance in the twenty-first century.
Common Era is a funder and R&D platform helping the Jewish experience continually evolve to meet the present moment. Through explorations and collaborations with creators, builders, subcultures, and social movements, they imagine and fund initiatives that offer the world a more expansive Jewish reality for new audiences.
