An exploration of the Jewish understanding of creation of humankind in the image of God and its implications for a range of ethical issues as pressing today as they were in the Talmudic period, including: the integrity and care of the human body, the treatment of the socially marginalized, immunity from abuse, the value of life, environmentalism, and the promise and limits of the concept of human dignity.
Christine Hayes is Robert F. and Patricia R. Weis Professor of Religious Studies in Classical Judaica. Before joining the Yale faculty in 1996, she was Assistant Professor of Hebrew Studies in the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University for three years. Her published works include several books and many articles in Vetus Testamentum, The Journal for the Study of Judaism, The Harvard Theological Review, and various scholarly anthologies.
This program is joyously sponsored by Andrew Ammerman in loving memory of Jodie and Max Ammerman, and Stephen C. Ammerman.
