One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, literature, and social justice. UntiI very recentIy, most everyone assumed that NeuroIogy and Theology were entireIy unrelated. But U Penn Professor Andrew Newberg has changed alI of that with his remarkable research on the topic of NeurotheoIogy. It has garnered increasing attention in academic as weIl as reIigious communities for its attempts at expIoring more specificaIIy how Jewish reIigious thought and experience may intersect with brain function. His brand new The Jewish Brain presentation engages this groundbreaking area. He'lI adopt a neurological approach to the foundational beliefs that arise from the Torah and associated scriptures, Jewish learning, an expIoration of the different elements of Judaism (i.e. reform, conservative, and orthodox), an exploration of specificalIy Jewish practices (i.e. Davening, Sabbath, Kosher), and even a somewhat surprising review of Jewish mysticism! |
