SUMMARY:Early Morning Talmud: Rabbinic Attitudes Towards Non-Jews
LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:10 East 66th Street in Manhattan
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=0D=0A=
Investigate Rabbinic attitudes toward non-Jews—-their pagan neighbors and the people they met in the marketplace—-as expressed in the Talmud. Some of the Rabbis expressed a basic sense of human equality toward gentiles, while other Rabbinic statements betray contempt and even hostility. Explore whether these differences reflect broader differences in Rabbinic ideology toward the world outside of Torah study. Finally, address the question of whether Christians were considered Jewish or gentile and delve into how such questions were answered.=0D=0A=
