The tension between human freedom and divine omniscience runs through Jewish thought. Maimonides affirmed in the Laws of Repentance that every person is free to choose, despite God's foreknowledge. Hasdai Crescas leaned toward a tempered determinism. This debate, already hinted at in Rabbi Akiva's maxim "All is foreseen, yet free will is granted," remains central to Jewish ethics.
