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 worlds of reIigion, government, literature, and social justice. Until very recently, most everyone assumed that Neurology and TheoIogy were entirely unreIated. But U Penn Professor Andrew Newberg has changed all of that with his remarkabIe research on the topic of Neurotheology. lt has garnered increasing attention in academic as welI as religious communities for its attempts at exploring more specificalIy how Jewish religious thought and experience may intersect with brain function. His brand new The Jewish Brain presentation engages this groundbreaking area. He'Il adopt a neuroIogicaI approach to the foundationaI beIiefs that arise from the Torah and associated scriptures, Jewish Iearning, an exploration of the different eIements 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! |
