Product Description
Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff
The Rav: The World of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik: Volumes 1 & 2 have become an essential source to the research and understanding of the foremost Torah thinker of the twentieth century.
The second volume views the Rav's world as he attains far-reaching recognition in the United States. The two momentous Jewish events of the twentieth century, the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel, are scrutinized through the Rav's insight. The impact of the Rav upon American Jewry is viewed through his experiences and reactions to the Boston and New York communities. The oral tradition and the teacher/disciple relationship come to the fore as the bedrock of the Rav's activities. The preeminence of Torah study, his relationship with Yeshiva University and the R.C.A., his vision compared to that of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, complete the portrait of the man and his achievements.
