Each one of us lives in narratives that have been handed to us. This special course delves into the story called Democracy and its paradoxical empowerment and affirmation of both individual and communal rights and freedoms. What are the precedents to follow the “will of the people” that are found in Jewish sources from Biblical times to our modern era? What are the precedents for freedom of expression? Kabbalistic interpretation is in itself an example of the freedom to think differently, at times radically so, and to imagine what it ultimately means to be free.
