Hamachshava Hayehudit Legvaneha [Hebrew]

By Shalom Rosenberg

The late Shalom Rosenberg, one of Israel's greatest thinkers, left behind this magnum opus: a review of the last thousand years of Jewish philosophy. Jewish thought is a deep ocean of beliefs and opinions, questions and answers. "The Varieties of Jewish Thought" serves as a guidebook for this fascinating and enormous body of literature. The book discusses the central issues that concerned Jewish sages throughout history: belief and heresy, reward and punishment, the meaning of mitzvot, Jewish election, conflicts with other religions, and the encounter with philosophy, from Greece until post-modern thought. Using parables and analogies, and ideas from the arts, culture, literature, and film, the book clarifies the relevance of these questions to our own lives, here and now. Professor Shalom Rosenberg's fluid, accessible writing introduces us to the main players in the field: the ideological rivals who challenge us in each generation, and the great thinkers who enlighten us. This book is a guide into the inner workings of Jewish thought by a beloved teacher who takes us by the hand through the most burning existential questions we face.
