Must
a Jew Believe Anything?
Second Edition
Author Information - Contents - Publication Details - Reviews
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 Professor of Jewish Thought at the University of Haifa. He is the author of Dogma in Medieval Jewish Thought and Must a Jew Believe Anything? and translator of Isaac Abravanel’s Principles of Faith, all published by the Littman Library of Jewish Civilization. He is also the author of Maimonides on Human Perfection, Maimonides on Judaism and the Jewish People, and Maimonides on the ‘Decline of the Generations’ and the Nature of Rabbinic Authority. His translations of Gersonides’ Commentary on Song of Songs and Maimonides’ Book of Love appeared in the Yale Judaica Series. Professor Kellner’s critical editions of the original texts of Abravanel’s Principles of Faith and of Gersonides’ Commentary on Song of Songs were published in Hebrew.
