While David’s dissertation related to Suffering, Catastrophe, Evil in Jewish History: The moral and ethical implications of rabbinic theodicy David was made to more narrowly focus when writing and defending his dissertation. David was in the graduate program at the BHU which like Spertus institute of Jewish Studies, Cleveland College of Jewish Studies, Boston Hebrew College, Gratz College, which emphasized in their foundation classes taught in Hebrew and the option of taking exams in Hebrew, thereby attracting many Israeli students.
David took most of his courses in the rationalist tradition of Jewish philosophy and waited until he was 40 years old to look more into Jewish mysticism. David’s interests indeed are the whole gamut of jewish studies as his 2 vols set Some Early writings Biblical Exegesis, Jewish Philosophy, Jewish History, Hebrew Linguistics, Rabbinics, and Jewish Literature, among others.

While at Haverford In College David had taken a course in the summer from Gershon Shaked a prominent Israeli Hebrew literary critic of Agnon and other Hebrew literati hommes des lettres and Dr. Moshe Idel on Rabbi Avraham ibn Abulafia, an expert in Jewish Mysticism, that proved an earlier inroad into David’s later devotion to the whole gamut of Jewish studies. In fact David loved to learn so much that David enjoyed and chose to sign up for courses during the summer at Universities such as L’institut des Etude Francais run by Bryn Mawr College where David became interest in the work of French philosopher Emanuel Levinas, Harvard University, Northwestern University, and Middlebury’s Language Institute of Modern Languages, etc. David also signed up for about 8 courses per semester at Haverford when most students took four. While at Haverford David volunteered to work with the blind, geriatric community, and the homeless.
While at BHU David also while working full time took courses in an exchange program with BHU and Johns Hopkins in the both the Ancient Near Eastern Studies Department and German studied Department with emphasis on German Jewish thought. While at JHU David also loved to sit in on Philosophy of Science courses (see David’s book noted by the Philosophy documentation center as a positive contribution, Essays in the History and Philosophy of Science) although David’s knowledge in this the history of science is primarily autodidactic and learned from his father’s love and interest in the field of history of science. In fact David’s book on History of Science was written piecemeal while visiting David’s father in Baltimore and listening to David’s father’s vast knowledge of the subject and drawing on David’s fathers thousands of books in this academic field. In fact in 2017 David edited a five volume set of his father (Zl) in the area of history of medicine and science.
