Show Notes
By any standard, Judaism does not fit into the classic definition of a "religion," nor the definition of a "culture" or "nation." From the very beginning, Jews themselves debated what is the essence of Judaism – a culture, i.e., a group of people who share the trappings of nationhood, or a religion, bound by faith and religious ideas. This podcast will examine this topic through the sources and discover some innovative approaches to this crucial question.
