The reading for this Friday can be found on Sakai in the "Readings for 2013" folder, under the name "Religion - Rabbinic Tradition and the Response to Modernity." It is a PDF file.
Questions - answer one.
1. 19th and 20th century Sephardic sages differed markedly in style and content from Ashkenazi rabbis in their responses to modernity. Why?
2. How did religious modernization in Europe differ from religious modernization among Sephardic Jews? What factors in Sephardic life in Muslim lands led to a different experience of modernization?
3. What are the particular religious issues (e.g., impact of science, women’s right to vote) that Zohar discusses and how did Sephardic rabbis deal with them?
