Full Description

A collection of essays selected from the nearly six decades of Rabbi Walter Wurzburger's illustrious career, this volume combines the author's mastery of Halakha with a deep understanding of Jewish philosophy. By adopting religious cohesion as the cornerstone of his ideas, Rabbi Wurzburger builds a case for the meeting point of ethics and traditional Judaism, delving deeply into the thoughts of some of the greatest Jewish thinkers, especially those of his teacher, Rabbi Joseph B Soloveitchik. Covering topics ranging from co-operation with non-Orthodox branches of Judaism to the Sabbath and his concept of modern Orthodoxy, Rabbi Wurzburger's essays are a true representation of the work of an original thinker and leader in the American Jewish community.
