Beschreibung:
Shalom Carmy is consulting editor of Tradition. A student of the late Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and a veteran teacher of philosophy, Bible, and Jewish thought at Yeshiva University, he has published many essays on these subjects.
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.
