The Jewish Idea of Culture , Sol Roth |
| Description: Rabbi Roth addresses the fundamental question of how Judaism, as a system of law, responds to culture. His main thesis is that culture possesses positive values and is entitled to the sanction and approval of the Halakic Jew. Roth examines the relationship of the secular to the sacred and discusses ways to reconcile faith and reason, science and tradition, and religious observance and cultural environment. He explores the limits beyond which the believer may not go without jeopardizing his faith by violating Judaic law and discusses the role of art and the artist in today's changing world. This provocative book, with a foreword by Elie Wiesel, may be too scholarly for some readers, but it is an engaging exegesis of Jewish religious thought rich in ideas and wisdom. George Cohen | |
