Jewish Philosophy Matters

Jewish Philosophy Matters is an online educational venture, in Torah study and Jewish scholarship, with the admittedly ambitious goal of launching a revolution — which is, in reality, rather, a renaissance. Our objective is restoring the Jewish thought and philosophy of the rishonim, the early rabbinical authorities — Rabbi Yehudah HaLevi, Rambam, Ramban, and other rabbinical luminaries from the medieval period — to their rightful place in intelligent and intelligible Torah-true discourse and making them more accessible than they’ve ever been. These classics, properly understood, are as current nowadays as when their authors wrote them. Real avodah, faithfully serving God, is inconceivable, today as then, without their guidance. Their guidance, more than any other, empowers us in seeking a personal philosophy in the spirit of the Torah, in our quest to understand the divinely ordained purpose of life in faith, the significance of Torah living, and our spiritual mission in the world.
