Bamidbar is a new journal that explores the contributions of Jewish thought to philosophy. Challenging the view of Jewish tradition perceived as being parochial, the journal will serve as a critical forum for a dialogue with contemporary thought. Bamidbar takes its name from the Biblical experience "in the desert", the Hebrew name of the Book of Numbers and a crucially formative moment that foregrounds and frames the narratives of Jewish history and has become a constitutive element in Western critical historical narratives. In the wilderness, in exile, and on the way, Bamidbar signals the explorative, searching trajectory of exilic experience.
