Heroic Rosenzweig

It is true as reviewer M. Llewyn has written that this book is abstract and difficult. But it is also true that it is written by one of the great intellectual heroes of modern Judaism. The story of Rosenzweig's rediscovery of his Jewishness, his writing of his monumental work ' Star of Redemption' while suffering almost complete paralysis is a story of human courage and Jewish faith. In this small book he centers on Jewish learning and education. A man of immense intellect and learning himself he understand that Judaism is a religion which requires of its adherents an effort of both heart and mind in the deepest way. His insights on the way to learn and the way to teach are the heart of this small and valuable work.
