    Since the late 1700s, when the Jewish community ceased to be a semiautonomous political unit in Western Europe and the United States and individual Jews became integrated—culturally, socially, and politically—into broader society, questions surrounding Jewish status and identity have occupied a prominent and contentious place in Jewish legal discourse.

    David EllensonARTICLEEuropean Judaism2006

    In This People Israel, Leo Baeck observed that Jewish vision 'looks backward and forward simultaneously', that 'nothing exists solely for itself.

  • Tradition in Transition

    C I Waxman, David EllensonARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…1991

    Students of modern Judaism have largely ignored the responsa literature as a source for comprehending the nature and development of Jewish history and thought during the last two hundred years. These original essays argue that the responsa, far from being unimportant to the investigation of the modern Jewish condition, provide a helpful framework for analyzing and understanding the story of the Jewish response to the modern world. The essays focu…
