תיאור האירוע
In 1927, Bialik described Kaufmann’s work as a redemption for Hebrew thought. This lecture explores the central thesis of the vast historical study 'Gola ve-Nekhar,' which investigates why the Jewish people survived dispersion while other nations assimilated. Kaufmann argues that the Jewish religion, rooted in radical monotheism, was the primary factor preventing absorption. The lecture traces his distinction between 'gola' (exile) and 'nekhar' (estrangement), analyzes the Babylonian exile as a critical test case, and examines his prophetic warnings from the 1920s regarding the dangers facing European Jewry.
