The project "Halacha and aggadah in the perspective of geopolitical transformation of the 21st century" is devoted to the development of methodological tools for the interaction of the religious tradition of the Open and Secret Torah, political teachings and cultural experiences of the New Age and as the basis for geopolitical transformation and the development of development ideologies.
One of the "pain points" of modern political discussion in Israel is the discussion of the possibilities and prospects of "judicial reform". Often, it is perceived as a purely political phenomenon of the clash of different political positions, which does not have any specific spiritual content, but can lead to very significant consequences, up to civil clashes.
Meanwhile, the very idea of the revival of the State of Israel on the land, which for 2 thousand years belonged to other peoples and states, and whose creation was supported by the decision of the UN, sets some fundamental contradiction between the understanding of modern Israel as a result of the fulfillment of ancient prophecies, and Israel as a result of some political process of the 20th century.
The year 2023, which marks the 75th anniversary of the State of Israel, clearly indicates a certain crisis in the internal legitimacy of the current model of state building and the need for some adjustment of the spiritual foundations of the political and ideological foundations for the development of the state and its institutions: education, science, culture.
This inevitably rests on the question of the nature and essence of Halakha, including the Halachic Midrash in modern conditions, i.e. in fact, the reconstruction of the Talmudic tradition in the 21st century, taking into account the achievements and problems of religious traditions (including religious Zionism; Hasidism) and cultural practices of recent decades.
The purpose of the proposed project is to develop a methodology for the analysis and reconstruction of normative texts from the field of Jewish religious tradition, political theories of the New Age, and cultural experiences in order to build a field of possible justifications and transformations of legislative decisions in the 21st century.
The objectives of the project are:

1. Reflection of the categories of “halakha” and “aggadah” in the context of Jewish religious traditions (religious Zionism, Hasidism), as well as in a metacultural context
2. Understanding the philosophical and political theories of the 20th century (Leo Strauss, Emmanuel Levinas, Hannah Arendt) in the context of religious traditions.
3. Rethinking theatrical and cinematic experiences of the 20th century (“Dybbuk” and “Princess Turandot” by E. Vakhtangov; “Hamlet” and “King Lear” by G. Kozintsev) in a religious context
4. Reconstruction of the political discussion field of the 2020s in the context of religious traditions
5. Construction of a multidimensional model of geopolitical design and study of transformations
