We further explore how both writings color his reception until today, among readers and scholars of all hues. Seeing Steiner and his community as co-shapers of historical processes, rather than as mere victims – their opponents’ commitment to violence notwithstanding – we then zoom out to show how third-party descriptions of Steiner’s person and companions, from the 1890s and steadily through until after Steiner’s death, stamped him as an arriviste, whose popular challenge to dominant knowledge systems was well worth opposing. Aware that knowledge about anthroposophy and Steiner is created out of the societal positions of adherents, opponents, and researchers – and mindful that all research positions consist of privilege and oppression in unequal measures – we conclude by returning to our opening question: How are understandings of Steiner and his work formed in the mirror of biographical imaginations? ### Monday, December 15 ### 9:00–11:00am expand\_more Note: There are two panels happening simultaneously during this time slot: **Cader Room** and **James Room East**.

What makes someone a spiritual teacher? What inner impulses moved him from an early age? What challenges – trials, life crises, experiences of failure – did he encounter on his path? Based on the comprehensive study of original sources and of Rudolf Steiner’s own words, this talk will provide an outline of the first forty years of his life. ## Tuesday, December 16 ### 9:00–10:00 Keynote expand\_more ##### Steiner’s Impulse in the Holy Land: The Jewish-Israeli Reception of Anthroposophy Presenter(s): [Boaz Huss](/steinerconference/keynotes "Keynote Speakers") Location: **Cader Room** Anthroposophy has become a significant presence in contemporary Israeli society. Two branches of the Anthroposophical Society operate in Israel, along with an Anthroposophical kibbutz in the Upper Galilee. Waldorf education, based on Steiner’s pedagogical principles, is highly popular, with hundreds of Waldorf kindergartens, schools, and training centers across the country. In addition, several Anthroposophical remedial homes and villages support people with special needs. The widespread success of Anthroposophy in Israel raises intriguing questions. How did the spiritual teachings of Rudolf Steiner, rooted in Western esoteric traditions and incorporating numerous Christological themes, resonate within Israeli Jewish society? How do Israeli Anthroposophists engage with Steiner’s negative views on Judaism and Zionism? This lecture will explore the reception history of Anthroposophy in Israel, from its beginnings in Mandate Palestine to the present, focusing on the efforts of Israeli Anthroposophists to reconcile their Jewish and Israeli identities with their Anthroposophical commitments. ### 10:15–12:15 expand\_more Note: There are two panels happening simultaneously during this time slot: **Cader Room** and **James Room East**.
