<![CDATA[<p>We are joined by <strong>Rabbi Daniel Korobkin</strong>, medieval scholar and the translator/annotator of the Feldheim edition of Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi’s Kuzari, who takes us into the story of a community in arms over whether and when to permit the study of secular knowledge. By looking at several responsa of the <strong>Rashba </strong>(1:415-417; <em>Kisvei Yad</em> no. 150) we get a glimpse into the age old question of how Judaism ought to interact with the broader world around it. </p>
