Confronting the real problems

Rabbi David Hartman is one of those Jewish spiritual leaders who has acted in accordance with his own teachings and convictions. His building and achievements in Jewish education in Israel have few equals. In this stimulating book of essays he examines the spiritual life of Israel. He argues passionately for a more open, a more responsible Judaism. He dialogues with his great teachers Rabbi Joseph Dov Baer Soloveitchik, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Mordechai Kaplan and respectfully differs on various questions in Jewish thought. He above all shows a true devotion to Israel as a Jewish society . These essays should be read by all who care for the future of the Jewish people and Israel.
