Modern Judaism - The Essentials EP 2. Margarete Susman "The Book of Job": Willi Goetschel

“Modern Judaism the Essentials”, is an interview series produced by
the Department for Modern Jewish History and Culture and the
Institute for Israel Studies at the Ludwig Maximillian University
in Munich. In this podcast, we speak with scholars about texts, we
think are essential for Jewish modernity. The question “What makes
a book or a text essential or canonical” is difficult to answer.
Therefore, we suggest thinking about this podcast more as a textual
mixtape representing a specific intellectual taste. For the second
episode, we invited Professor Willi Goetschel from the University
of Toronto to speak about Margarete Susman’s The Book of Job and
the fate of the Jewish people. The interview was recorded in April
2023. Speaker: Ghilad H. Shenhav
