Joseph Dov Soloveitchik

    27 febbraio 1903 – 9 aprile 1993

    Il rabbino Joseph B. Soloveitchik è stato una personalità unica della Torah, che ha unito una profonda esperienza nella tradizione religiosa a una vasta erudizione secolare, compreso un dottorato presso l'Università di Berlino. La sua vita è stata caratterizzata da una devozione incrollabile allo studio della Torah, che ha perseguito e insegnato rigorosamente, influenzando migliaia di persone. Pur essendo profondamente impegnato a preservare la tradizione, si è avvicinato agli altri con cortesia e rispetto, anche quando difendeva la conservazione dei principi della Torah. I suoi insegnamenti hanno guidato i discepoli nelle loro interazioni, stabilendo un principio storico per il dialogo che rimane influente.

    • This volume collects ten of Rabbi Soloveitchik's studies on prayer, based on edited transcripts of public lectures and previously unpublished manuscripts, as well as essays newly translated from Hebrew and Yiddish. These studies add a new dimension to the Rav's previously published writings on tefilla, focusing not only on its general aspects but on individual prayers and blessings and their particular details.

      The Lonely Man of Faith is a timeless philosophical essay by one of the twentieth century's greatest Jewish philosophers, Talmudic scholars, and religious leaders, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. In this classic work, Rabbi Soloveitchik probes the inner experiences of those who seek both redemptive closeness with God and creative engagement with the world. With characteristic brilliance and eloquence, he delineates the struggle of people of faith to navigate between seemingly contradictory aspects of the human condition: the spiritual and the material, the religious and the scientific, the covenantal and the majestic. Highlights of this newly revised edition of The Lonely Man of Faith include: Transliterations and translations of the Hebrew, fully sourced references, restoration of the original chapter divisions and a new introduction by Rabbi Reuven Ziegler.

      The best single introduction to Jewish religious thought in print. — Theology Today National Jewish Book Award Winner Halakhic Man is the classic work of modern Jewish and religious thought by the twentieth century’s preeminent Orthodox Jewish theologian and talmudic scholar. It is a profound excursion into religious psychology and phenomenology, a pioneering attempt at a philosophy of halakhah, and a stringent critique of mysticism and romantic religion.

    • Nowadays a basic investigation of morality and ethos would be of great importance. There is a crying need for clarification of many practical problems, both in the individual-private and in the social-ethical realms. There are too many uncertainties in which we live today, uncertainties about what we ought to do. We should try to infer from our ethical tradition certain standards that should govern our conduct. In particular, I notice confusion among rabbis as regards basic problems whose solution cannot be found in the Shulhan Arukh and must rather be inferred by way of deduction from ancient principles and axioms. He approaches this task through an in-depth examination of the beginning of Pirkei Avot, raising topics such as: the sources of ethics, power and persuasion, elitism and democracy, educational philosophy, study and action, freedom and coercion, and more.

      HALAKHIC MORALITY
    • Esej Halachický člověk je nejproslulejším dílem významného židovského rabína a filosofa Josefa Solovějčika (1903-1993). Autor v něm načrtává základní rysy svého pojetí halachické existence, tedy způsobu života moderního ortodoxního Žida, který na jedné straně lpí na tradičních hodnotách biblického a talmudického učení, posvěcených generacemi předků a vyjádřených v teologickém pojmu halacIš ha-halacha-galuj ve-nistara, a na druhé straně je otevřen podnětům vědeckého myšlení moderní západní společnosti. Ideální typ halachického člověka je srovnáván se dvěma jinými moderními typy lidské existence, kterými jsou člověk náboženský a člověk vědecký (matematický přírodovědec). S vědcem halachický člověk sdílí jeho racionální zájem o podstatu a fungování světa, s obecně náboženským člověkem má společnou touhu po transcendentnu. Halacha představuje svébytný existenciální postoj: je to nejen praktický návod k životu, ale i teoretická reflexe a tvůrčí náprava vezdejšího světa, které je halachický člověk mocen díky své schopnosti pokání. Esej vzbudil velkou pozornost už v době svého prvního vydání (1944) a od té doby ovlivnil několik generací talmudických učenců a filosofů, a to nejen židovských. Vychází v edici Judaica.
