Modern Orthodox Judaism: Studies and Perspectives

Menachem-Martin Gordon

4.9/5 (20057 ratings)

Description:Arguing for a “Fullness of Life,” Rabbi Dr. Gordon documents the case for Modern Orthodoxy – a fostering of cultural breadth, yet true to the Halakhah. His incisive analysis of the issue of hukkot ha-goyyim, the Biblical injunction against identifying with alien mores, is captivating, taking note of Maharik’s insistence that style of dress need not be distinctively Jewish, but respectably modest. Noted is Hazal’s denial of a pietistic black as standard dress. Aesthetic sensitivity is valued. Examined is the controversiality of the presumption that olam hazeh is but an ante-chamber to olam haba. Subject to a severe critique is Rav Dessler’s denial of natural law and the efficacy of human initiative – the facade of hishtadlut. The role of the sciences in a religious curriculum is accentuated. A definition of talmid hakham is probed, linked to a decisiveness in halakhic inquiry. Similarly explored is the status of torato umanuto – the issue of the avrekh ha-kollel. The principle of be-khol derakhekha da’ehu is developed, encouraging a diversity of career options. Tzelem Elohim is posited as the uniqueness of each man’s individuality in pursuit of self-realization.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
