Engaging Modernity: Rabbinic Leaders and the Challenge of the Twentieth Century

by Moshe Z. Sokol (Editor)

Overview

This collection of essays seeks to understand the tension between contemporary and traditional elements in the thought, practices, and life of Modern Orthodox Jewry. Together, they are a fascinating study of the balance that occurs between modernity and traditionalism, whereby faith and practice emerge from the encounter adapted but not wholly transformed.
