We commit to deepen our relationship with each other and to work together towards the fulfilment of common witness, proclamation and service, to the glory of the one God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The John and Anna Belfer Oration in the History of Jewish Philosophy

Notre Dame’s Centre for the History of Philosophy, is launching a new academic focus on the study of Jewish philosophy, including a public lecture series.
The inaugural lecture will be delivered by Rabbi Dr. Benjamin Elton.

Topic: “The First Rabbinic Philosopher: Saadia Gaon (882 – 942),”  Rabbi Elton will discuss Saadia’s philosophical work and its influence on later Jewish philosophical thought.

“It is an honour to deliver the inaugural lecture in this new series, starting at the very beginning of medieval Jewish philosophy, with a thinker who remains deeply relevant today. The Great Synagogue has long been the cornerstone of Sydney’s Jewish community, and it is a privilege to open our doors to the Sydney Jewish community, leaders of other faiths, as well as the general public to encourage learning, education and understanding,” commented Rabbi Elton.
