Hartman Hits it on the Head

David Hartman has written another very important book that deals directly with the centrals issues concerning the developement of a modern relevant Judaism. He is courageous and bold as he confronts the problems of strict orthodoxy while staying firmly committed to traditional halachic Judaism. Hartman provides hope for a new pluralistic approach to Judaism that is so needed in Israel today.

Terrific, relevant, modern Jewish philosophy

I really enjoyed Rabbi Hartman's latest book. He has a very keen eye for the contemporary Jewish situation. Both philosophically and sociologically. As a current Israeli resident, I can attest that Rabbi Hartman has a fabulous grasp of the current situation in Israel. It was a pleasure reading the book. I strongly recommend it for anyone interested in contemporary Jewish philosophy. And for someone interested in reading someone who is not afraid of posing tough questions about the Jewish situation today.
