Futurism (Judaism)
Jewish Futurism is used in three different contexts: religious, artistic and futures studies (foresight, futurology etc.)
Religious context
Jewish Futurism is an attempt to apply futurism to theological and social issues facing Jewish persons and communities.
Jews who are futurists
Israeli futurists
- Moshe Dror, president of the World Network of Religious Futurists
- Tsvi Bisk, director of the Center for Strategic Futurist Thinking
- Yehezkel Dror, founder of the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute
- David Passig, head of the Virtual Reality Lab at Bar-Ilan University
A particular place on this list should be reserved for the practitioners of foresight. Foresight is a tool for developing visions, understood as possible future states of affairs that actions today can help bring about (or avoid). The practice of foresight is widespread in European strategic thinking, and to a much lesser level in Canada or United States. In Israel, foresight projects are developed at the Interdisciplinary Center for Technology Assessment and Forecasting from Tel Aviv University.
