Objections and Opportunities
Being-towards-Eternity
In his writings, Rabbi Isaac Hutner integrated various insights from secular philosophy and particularly from existentialist thought. Concerns regarding temporality, authenticity, and death permeate his thought. This article deals with what we call “being-towards-eternity,” a modification of Martin Heidegger’s “being-towards-death,” through which Hutner seeks to reconcile genuine anxiety in the face of finitude with an unwavering belief in resurr…
God, Being, Pathos
Martin Heidegger’s philosophy has elicited many theological responses; some enthusiastic, others critical. In this essay I provide an organized and critical analysis of Abraham Joshua Heschel’s theological critique of and rejoinder to the thought of the German philosopher. By looking at Heschel’s 1965 Who is Man? as well as earlier and later texts, I demonstrate the way in which Heschel presents his biblical theology as an alternative to Heidegge…
Heidegger in Hebrew
This article deals with the largely neglected topic of Martin Heidegger's Jewish reception by examining the translation of The Origin of the Work of Art into Hebrew by Shlomo Zemach in 1968. The various challenges confronting the coming-into-being of this translation are outlined by drawing on previously unknown archival material, including correspondence between Zemach and Vittorio Klostermann (Heidegger's German publisher), as well as between Z…
An Impossible Possibility? Jewish Barthianism in Interwar Germany
In this essay I examine the Jewish reception of Karl Barth's theology in Germany of the 1930s. This I do through an analysis of a disputed exploration into the possibilities and limitations of the theological principles of dialectical theology for the formulation of a Jewish theology that took place at the time. The publication of Karl Barth's Römerbrief (1919, 1922) generated a great stir among Christian circles in Germany. Profoundly challengin…
Franz Rosenzweig and Karl Barth
The aim of this article is to gain a better understanding of the way in which Jews understood and reacted to dialectical theology, already in the 1920s and 1930s in Weimar Germany, by approaching the instance of the frequent conjunction of Franz Rosenzweig with Karl Barth.1 By examining the manner in which Rosenzweig was understood and situated vis-à-vis Barth in the immediate period after the publication of their respective notable works, Der St…
The Moment and the Future
This article addresses the philosophical sources of Soloveitchik's unique account of time and repentance as presented particularly in the second part of Halakhic Man . In the past, thinkers such as Max Scheler, Hermann Cohen, and Henri Bergson have been suggested as sources of influence on Soloveitchik on this account. While the influence of these thinkers is undeniable, a fuller appreciation of the philosophical layers at play is still required.…
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's Endorsement and Critique of Volkish Thought
In this article I trace and examine volkish elements in Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's thought. My claim is that Soloveitchik is influenced by different notions of volkish ideology which are applied to the Jewish volk. These notions enrich his thought and provide a language to articulate different ideas concerning Jewish peoplehood in modernity. Yet Soloveitchik was also critical of the ethical problems volkish ideology engenders-a critique that …
