Rabbi Jeffery Saks (Part II)
Nov.-Dec. 2011
Is mankind meant to master its surrounding or submit passively to God? What is the place of Jewish faith in the modern world? How does modernity pose a challenge to religious life? What is the viability of forming community today? These questions stand at the center of Rabbi Soloveitchik's masterful "The Lonely Man of Faith" and will be explored as we make a close reading of the essay and exploration of the sources on which the Rav zt"l drew in composing one of the 20th century's most significant treatments of religious philosophy and Jewish faith.
