How can you have free will if God already knows what you are going to do?

Location: Small Shul

If God knows what you're going to do before you even do it, then how can you be free to do otherwise? If God already knows your future, then your future is not yours to write. In this class we'll discuss the major moves that the Medieval Jewish philosophers made in response to this theological riddle - a classical philosophical question made friendly. (TN)
