Torah Umadda: The Encounter of Religious Learning and Wordly Knowledge in the Jewish Tradition

By Norman Lamm

Book Overview

Lamm, president of Yeshiva University, examines whether there is room within a traditional religious education for secular studies. He supports the argument that a mixture of traditional religion and worldly knowledge is not only acceptable, but recommended. Among those whose ideas he examines are Maimonides, Samson Raphael Hirsch, and Abraham Isaac Kook.
