Ep. 9 - Why Judaism Lost Prophecy — and How to Get It Back

In this deep and wide-ranging conversation, Rabbi Shnayor Burton joins The Philosophical Jew to explore his “Daat Hashem” (Knowledge of God) series — a profound re-examination of what it means to truly know God.Drawing on Tanakh, Rambam, and prophetic consciousness, Rabbi Burton argues that humanity’s highest calling isn’t wealth, status, or even meaning — but Da’at Hashem, a lived familiarity with divine reality.Together, we discuss:Why “knowing God” is central to the prophets but absent from the Torah itselfThe loss of prophecy — and how rationalism, idolatry, and Greek philosophy reshaped Jewish consciousnessThe danger and beauty of anthropomorphizing GodThe prophetic four-step path to Da’at Hashem: baring the soul, refining character, cultivating faith, and attaining experiential knowledgeWhat it means to “walk with God” in an age of science and skepticism📖
