Rupture and Reconstruction: The Transformation of Modern Orthodoxy
Authors
Haym Soloveitchik The Littman Library of Jewish CivilizationSynopsis
A cogent analysis of the development in orthodoxy that is often described as 'the swing to the Right', a rupture with pre-existing attitudes and patterns of behaviour that has had major consequences not only for Jewish society but also for the nature of Jewish spirituality. The consequent enshrinement of texts as the sole source of authenticity is explored in depth, along with its implications for religious performance, religious education, and the scope of religion in the political arena.
