Immigrants and Refugees: The Jewish Mitzvah of Hospitality and Its Implications for the Field of Education
Guilherme, Alexandre; Cardozo, Artur Magoga
Studies in Philosophy and Education, v42 n5 p481-500 Sep 2023
The recent war in Europe, the Ukraine-Russia war, has had a huge impact in the lives of millions of people in the European continent--in the lives of both those who have fled the conflict and of those who have welcomed them with open arms. In this paper, we conduct a philosophical investigation into the issue of hospitality to others, to strangers, to foreigners trying to understand this phenomenon taking place in Europe, and elsewhere. First, we investigate the Jewish Mitzvah of Hospitality by referring to two passages in the Torah that exemplify hospitality and one that instantiates its opposite, hostility to the other, to strangers and foreigners. Following from this, we provide a discussion on Jewish ethics and its deontological and virtue ethics connections. In the last section, we engage with a discussion connecting the field of education and the matter of hospitality.
