Description
Jewish Thought After The Holocaust
- "At the core of Jewish faith is the idea of covenant, the mutual commitment between God and the people Israel. But the covenant embodies a specific tension. On the one hand, it is immune to history. Its text, the Torah, and the way of life it conmmands, are divine, eternal, immutable, unchanging. On the other hand, the covenant is realised in history... Judaism is thus a metahistorical and historical faith, peculiarly poised between timelessness and time." - Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
- In this pioneering study of Jewish thought, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks addresses a crucial dilemma for Jews and Judaism today. The Holocaust and the birth of the State of Israel have combined to create a strong contemporary awareness of peoplehood of Jews as sharing a common history, destiny and responsibility. But can there be peoplehood across the deep religious and cultural divisions that are the heritage of the Jewish encounter with modernity?
- Rabbi Sacks explores the responses of contemporary Jewish thought to this dilemma, through an examination of the concepts of covenant and peoplehood; the nature of religious pluralism in a Jewish context; the relationship of Jewish law to contemporary society; and the interpretation of religious texts today.
- Crisis and Covenant, first published in 1992, is essential reading, not only for students of Jewish thought and modern Jewish history, but for all those concerned with the fate of religious traditions in a secular age.
