Online course - Torah Lishmah: The Most Radical Jewish Concept of All

Join the Jewish Activism Summer School, as Matt Plen, Chief Executive of Masorti Judaism UK leads us in our next webinar "Torah Lishmah: The Most Radical Jewish Concept of All." Lishmah, translated as 'for its own sake' involves doing a mitzvah for its intrinsic value, not for any ulterior purpose. By creating a philosophical dialogue between 'lishmah' and the Aristotelian idea 'praxis,' we'll see how this seemingly narrow religious idea has the potential to overturn the worst features of modern life: consumerism, populism and dehumanization.
