Omri Boehm

Boehm grew up in the Galilee.[6] He studied at the Adi Lautman Interdisciplinary Programme for Outstanding Students at Tel Aviv University and earned his PhD at Yale University.[7] He did a post-doc at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2010.[8] He is currently associate professor of philosophy at the New School for Social Research based in New York City.

Boehm’s first book, The Binding of Isaac: a Religious Model of Disobedience, argues that Abraham disobeyed God’s command to sacrifice his son Isaac, and disobedience rather than obedience is the corner of Jewish faith.[9] His second book, Kant’s Critique of Spinoza, argues that the Critique of Pure Reason needs to be read as an answer to Spinoza’s Ethics. His latest book, A Future for Israel: Beyond the Two-State Solution, develops a model for bi-national Zionism. His writings have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Haaretz and Die Zeit, among others.[10][11]
