520 _aThe study examines the pedagogical and exegetical perspectives of Mendelssohn and Friedländer within Jewish Enlightenment thought, bringing their similar approaches to biblical and rabbinic sources into sharper focus. Taking Mendelssohn’s commentary on Ecclesiastes and its German translation by Friedländer as its point of departure, it shows how their works seek to promote a dialectical, universal-ethical consciousness in Jewish youth that aligns with Enlightenment ideals. It further explores Friedländer’s selective reading of rabbinic sources to advocate for Jewish emancipation, particularly with regard to women’s roles in tradition.
