Episode 113: Joshua Skarf "Torah Through the Lens of Architecture"
Manage episode 463226089 series 3449165
In this episode, we sit down with architect and author Joshua Skarf to discuss his fascinating book, ArchitecTorah: Architectural Ideas in Judaism and the Weekly Torah Portion. Skarf offers a unique perspective on how the principles of architecture and engineering can deepen our understanding of Torah, shedding new light on iconic narratives and themes. We explore the inspiration behind his work and the four categories into which the book is organized, each demonstrating the profound connections between architecture and Torah study. Together, we dive into key chapters, including a fresh look at the burning bush through an architectural lens, how brickmaking in Egypt informs our understanding of the Israelites' labor, and the role of wind patterns in the splitting of the sea. The conversation continues with insights on the prohibition against graven images and its connection to architecture, how ancient urban planning enriches the narrative of the Israelites inheriting Canaanite cities, and the interplay between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, offering a compelling juxtaposition of architectural and spiritual insights. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion as Joshua Skarf bridges the worlds of design and divinity, offering readers and listeners a new way to engage with the Torah.
