What Does the “Divine Image” Look Like? Perspectives from Chazal (2/4) with Rabbi Dr. Shlomo Zuckier

This season of Turn it & Turn it is on the topic of: "Divinity & Humanity"

The Torah teaches us that humanity is created in the divine image. Chazal develop and apply this theme in a number of places, and their discussions lay bare important questions about the nature of the divine image. In particular, several Talmudic passages explicitly address how the divine image maps onto categories of religion, race, and gender, as they apply this definition of humanity in a variety of halakhic areas. This class offers a close reading of those sugyot and their interpreters, aiming to better understand this timely and timeless definition of humanity.
