The  Holocaust and the birth of the State of Israel have combined to create strong contemporary awareness of peoplehood – of Jews as sharing a common history, destiny and responsibility. But can there be peoplehood across the deep religious and cultural divisions that are the heritage of the Jewish encounter with modernity?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe explores the responses of contemporary Jewish thought to this dilemma, through an examination of its understanding of the concepts of covenant and peoplehood; of the nature of religious pluralism within a Jewish context; of the relationship of Jewish law to contemporary society; and of the interpretation of religious texts today – the question of Fundamentalism. Rabbi Sacks assesses the thought of Joseph Soloveitchik, Yeshayahu Leibowitz, Eliezer Berkovitz, Michael Wyschogrod, Irving Greenberg, and David Hartman. He reveals the acute inner tensions when a religious tradition collides with modern consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCrisis and Covenant\u003c\/em\u003e is essential reading not only for those scholars and students of Jewish thought and modern Jewish history, but for all those concerned with the fate of religious traditions in a secular age.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"metaInfo\"\u003e \u003cp class=\"small\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"\u003eSoftcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"small\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"\u003eList: $19.95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp class=\"small\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"\u003eISBN: 9781592646203\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Koren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49792134119724,"sku":"BKE-CRACPB","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/7191\/3516\/files\/crisis-and-covenant-pb-rabbi-jonathan-sacks-bke-cracpb-maayan-judaica.jpg?v=1748481098","url":"https:\/\/maayanjudaica.com\/products\/a2t11031","provider":"Maayan Judaica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
