The Future of Religious Leadership
“A Fall of Snow Maintains the Warmth of the Earth”
This essay attempts to shed light upon the European Jewish partnership in the second half of the twentieth century, through an analysis of the persona of the philosopher Léon Brunschvicg, one of the major teachers of Emmanuel Levinas. Beyond the inherent interest in his intellectual stature and prominence as a philosopher, our study will reveal an additional aspect of the French-Jewish partnership at the turn of the century, and will reconsider t…
Graphic design in the printed translations of Franz Rosenzweig
One of Franz Rosenzweig's most significant ventures for Jewish renewal was the translation into German, which he initiated, of the Bible, prayerbook and religious poems. The aim of this essay is to explore the graphic design of the page that Rosenzweig selected for the printed edition of his translations. I will argue that the graphic design of the Siddur page is not just an aesthetic aspect of the translation but should be recognized as an educa…
The Path that Leads to the One God, Must be walked in Part Without God”
In her well-known review of The Star of Redemption, poet, cultural critic, and philosopher Margarete Susman characterizes Rosenzweig’s project as theology that has “gone beyond the zenith of atheism” and articulates her view of this unique piece of work as the crowning achievement of the philosophical project of that time. But Susman’s assessment also addresses another issue of great significance: the fact that the atheism addressed by Rosenzweig…
R. Abraham Isaac Kook and the Opening Passage of “The War”
Rabbi Abraham Isaac Ha-Cohen Kook's essay "The War" (Ha-Milḥamah) is a text of immense importance with respect to the development of ideological militaristic writing in religious Zionism. The essay was first published in the book Orot me-Ofel (1921), edited by R. Kook's son, Rabbi Zvi Yehudah Kook. In this study, I wish to distinguish the views presented in the notebooks and collected writings of R. Kook from his position as set forth in the edit…
A Philosopher in the Eye of the Storm
This article considers the role of the individual during crises in humanism and the ethical responsibility with which the individual is charged in such times of moral calamity. In a narrow sense, the article explores Emmanuel Lévinas's “Nameless” (“Sans nom”), an essay that appears in his book Proper Names , and proposes viewing it as his personal reading in honor of his unique, unaccounted-for teacher Monsieur Chouchani. From a broader philosoph…
Theodicy as the Justified Demands of Atheism
At present there is no great philosopher in the Jewish world. Among the living, I can only think of one individual, not that I learned anything from him, but I do respect him. He is also one of those who provide me with food for thought. Emmanuel Levinas lives in France and belongs to a group of scholars engaged in the study of epistemology. However, his writings on Judaism are exceptional ... —(Yeshayahu Leibowitz, “They Changed My Life,” Maariv…
Levinasian thoughts on witnessing
The Truth and Reconciliation Commissions that operated in South Africa in the mid-1990s represented an exceptional political effort to overcome the country’s intricate blood-stained history using a mechanism based on foundations of forgiveness in a Christian sense, public trial in a symbolic sense, and commissions of inquiry in a political and legal sense. These commissions constituted one of the most daring and impressive attempts in the history…
