Jewish existentialism

Jewish existentialism is a philosophical movement that explores how individuals find meaning and purpose within the context of Jewish faith and tradition, especially in a world often viewed as uncertain or filled with suffering. It emphasizes personal responsibility, moral choice, and authentic self-discovery, acknowledging the profound influence of history, memory, and community. Thinkers like Martin Buber and Emmanuel Levinas focus on relationships, ethics, and the divine presence in everyday life, highlighting how Jewish identity involves active engagement with life's moral and spiritual challenges while seeking authentic existence amidst uncertainty.
