The Philosophy of Joseph B. Soloveitchik
Author: Heshey Zelcer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000368734
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Providing a concise but comprehensive overview of Joseph B. Soloveitchik’s larger philosophical program, this book studies one of the most important modern Orthodox Jewish thinkers. It incorporates much relevant biographical, philosophical, religious, legal, and historical background so that the content and difficult philosophical concepts are easily accessible. The volume describes his view of Jewish law (Halakhah) and how he answers the fundamental question of Jewish philosophy, namely, the “reasons” for the commandments. It shows how many of his disparate books, essays, and lectures on law, specific commandments, and Jewish religious phenomenology can be woven together to form an elegant philosophical program. It also provides an analysis and summary of Soloveitchik’s views on Zionism and on interreligious dialogue and the contexts for Soloveitchik’s respective stances on issues that were pressing in his role as a leader of a major branch of post-war Orthodox Judaism. The book provides a synoptic overview of the philosophical works of Joseph B. Soloveitchik. It will be of interest to historians and scholars studying neo-Kantian philosophy, Jewish thought, and philosophy of religion.

דרוש דרש יוסף
Author: Avishai C. David
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789655240467
Category : Bible
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Rav Yosef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik (1903-1993) was not only one of the outstanding Talmudists of the twentieth century, but also one of its most creative and seminal Jewish thinkers. Drawing from a vast reservoir of Jewish and general knowledge, "the Rav," as he is widely known, brought Jewish thought and law to bear on the interpretation and assessment of the modern experience. Rabbi Avishai David, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivat Torat Shraga in Jerusalem, attended the Ravs daily classes for several years during the early and mid-1970s, and was a staunch attendee of the classes in Congregation Moriah in Manhattan for over a decade. For five years, between 1977 and 1982, he attended the Ravs Humash lectures in Boston, as well as many of the summer classes that the Rav presented on various topics. The Humash lectures published in this book are an amalgam of all of the aforementioned venues, but are drawn primarily from the classes in Boston.
