Must
a Jew Believe Anything?
OUT OF PRINT - Please see details of the Second Edition, available in 2006
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details - Reviews - Prizes
The crucial question for today's Jewish world, Menachem Kellner argues,
is not whether Jews will have Jewish grandchildren, but how many different
sorts of mutually exclusive Judaisms those grandchildren will face. Kellner's
short, brisk, and accessible book examines how the split that threatens
the Jewish future can be avoided. His lucid analysis of what religious
faith means in classical Judaism leads logically to a new way of construing
the relationship of Orthodoxy to non-Orthodox Jews and institutions.
Menachem Kellner is Sir Isaac and Lady Edith Wolfson Professor of Jewish Religious Thought at the University of Haifa. Born in Albany, New York, he studied at Washington University (St Louis), New York University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Yeshivat Merkaz Harav in Jerusalem. His publications include Dogma in Medieval Jewish Thought (1986) and a translation of Isaac Abravanel's Principles of Faith (Rosh Amanah), both published by the Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, as well as Contemporary Jewish Ethics (1978), The Pursuit of the Ideal: Jewish Writings of Steven Schwarzschild (1990), Maimonides on Human Perfection (1990), Maimonides on Judaism and the Jewish People (1991), Maimonides on the Decline of the Generations and the Nature of Rabbinic Authority (1996), and a translation of Gersonides' Commentary on Song of Songs (1998).
