About this episode
Just a few days ago, one of the leading luminaries of Jewish Studies scholarship, David Biale , died at the age of 75. He was a 3-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award, and a committed scholar-activist who devoted his life not only to intellectual pursuits – but also to justice. His work had a profound influence on the ways we understand Judaism Unbound, and in the wake of his passing, we wanted to re-release his appearance on our podcast that was initially released toward the end of 2023. May David Biale’s memory be a blessing, and may his work continue to contribute to the betterment of Judaism and humankind. ---------------- Episode 411 Description: David Biale was the Emanuel Ringelblum Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Jewish History at the University of California, Davis and the the award-winning author/co-author of seven books on Jewish history. He joined Dan Libenson and Lex Rofeberg for a conversation about counter-culture, secularism, and reaching for our roots, all in the context of understanding the Jewish past and present.
