      ABSTRACT

      The moral theories of Immanuel Kant and in the Jewish tradition can be taken together, and the lessons derived can be applied in current thinking. Kant and Judaism hold that freedom is inextricably tied with obligation and the duty to respect others. In freedom, humans subjectively interpret and actualize God’s law. The respect due upon the conception of positive freedom is a standard to be upheld, in contrast to the absolute neutrality that liberalism is sometimes deemed to endorse. The Women of the Wall are to be accorded freedom and respect in their efforts to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Conceiving freedom as the duty of respect may aid in the formation of a common good and bind people to each other. Viewing freedom as constituted by duties of respect may impact people’s understanding of their own freedom and their relations with others in society.
