The Ethics Volume of the Shalom Hartman Institute's curriculum, Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism, brings into focus Jewish conversations about ethical questions that impact all of us: What do I owe my inner circle, and what do I owe to others? How do I maintain relationships with integrity when people wrong one another?
How should I balance competing values when making a decision? What are the
obligations of parents to children and vice versa? Foundations for a Thoughtful Judaism is a curricular project which offers a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to philosophical ideas in Jewish peoplehood, practice, faith, and ethics. Its content is based on Hartman teaching from the last four decades.
