The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times episodes
- Bereishit - Adam and Eve and Nietzsche's Concept of Shame - Episode 1
In this episode, we explore why Adam and Eve suddenly became aware that they were naked after eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Nietzsche's loathing of shame provides a new way with which to view traditional notions of morality.

26 min - The Death of Moses and German Romanticism - Episode 0
At first glance, the death of Moses just short of the Gates of Israel seems to be a cruel and unfair denouement for Judaism's greatest prophet. Yet, with the help of the Jena School, we can see Moses' "untimely" death as the ultimate gift and the pathway to the Eternal.

About The Schrift - Ancient Jewish Wisdom for Modern Times
From the publisher's feed
Somewhere along the way, many of us were forcefed the idea that philosophy is boring and esoteric. What? Philosophy is, in fact, rebellious and therapeutic! Using humor, personal anecdotes, and…
much hubris, the Schrift provides fresh and unexpected answers to life's most tricky and fateful questions. The anchor of the Schrift is the weekly reading of the Torah. These passages are analyzed not as religious dogma but as brilliant pieces of literature and anthropology which bring ancient wisdom back into our lives. The greatest philosophers and writers of the German canon also weigh in on these questions during the Schrift. Finally the lectures incorporate Buddhist teachings and the practice of Yoga to bring together East and West, body and mind, eternity and the moment. And the Schrift will always give you a "life tip" to carry with you along the way. IG: stevehead0001 [email protected]
