Among the key categories that shape Jewish thought are holiness, divinity, humanity, prayer, responsibility, exile, dwelling, gratitude, and language itself. While the Hebrew language is central to the investigation, the reader need not have a knowledge of Hebrew in order to follow it. Essential reading for students and scholars of Judaism, this book will also be of value to RoutledgeCurzon Jewish studies series.Jewish philosophyHebrew languageRootsJewish philosophy.Hebrew languageRoots.296.3/01/411.24bclPatterson David1948-954829MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821751003321Hebrew language and Jewish thought4062161UNINA
