Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xix, [1], 225, [3] pages. Footnotes. Includes Preface by Jacob J. Schacter, as well as a listing of contributors and an index. Chapters include Rabbinic Attitudes toward Nonobservance in the Medieval Period; Rabbinic Responses to Nonobservance in the Modern Era; Rebuking a Fellow Jew: Theory and Practice; Loving and Hating Jews as Halakhic Categories; All Jews Are Responsible for One Another; and Ahavat Yisrael: A Selected Bibliography. This is one of The Orthodox Forum Series, a Project of the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, An Affiliate of Yeshiva University. Jacob J. Schacter (born 1950) is an American Orthodox rabbi. Schacter, an historian of intellectual trends in Orthodox Judaism, is University Professor of Jewish History and Jewish Thought and Senior Scholar at the Center for the Jewish Future at Yeshiva University. Schacter holds a Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages from Harvard University and received rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva Torah Vodaas in 1973. He graduated from Brooklyn College in 1973. Schacter is an historian of intellectual trends in Orthodox Judaism. Schacter is regarded as following "the ideological tradition" Joseph B. Soloveitchik. His 1997 book, A Modern Heretic and a Traditional Community: Mordecai M. Kaplan, Orthodoxy and American Judaism, was about the "complicated relationship" between Mordecai Kaplan, an Orthodox rabbi who left that movement to found Reconstructionist Judaism. Before leaving Orthodoxy, Kaplan had been Rabbi of the Jewish Center (Manhattan), the congregation that Schacter would later lead. Strong arguments are also made on purely halakhic grounds against the stricter, more extreme position of dealing with non-believer. While some continue to argue that halakhah today mandates hating other Jews, other find such a conclusion to be indefensible and untenable. This volume seeks to address this issue from the perspectives of Jewish history, Jewish law, and Jewish thought. Another addition to the "Orthodox Forum Series", this book is a collection of papers from the Second Orthodox Forum in New York and provides compelling insight into the minds of highly respected scholars in the Orthodox Rabbinate. Two of the papers include a brief account of non-observance and the Rabbinic view throughout Jewish history. The Orthodox Forum, convened by Dr. Norman Lamm, President of Yeshiva University, meets each year to consider major issues of concern to the Jewish community. Forum participants from throughout the world, including academicians in both Jewish and secular fields, rabbis, rashei yeshivah, Jewish educators, and Jewish communal professionals, gather in conference as a think tank to discuss and critique each other's original papers, examining different aspects of a central theme. The purpose of the Forum is to create and disseminate a new and vibrant Torah literature addressing the critical issues facing Jewry today.…
