Faith, History and Values

Articles and Lectures

Synopsis

Faith, Hןstory and Values is a collection of articles, conversations and lectures that were conceived as part of the theoretical and publicized activity in the last few years (since the Yom Kippur war). This collection is a direct continuation of "Judaism, the Jewish people and the state of Israel" by Leibowitz. Some chapters are controversial and deal with arguments and debates that arose in reaction to his previous book. The issues Leibowitz brings up in his book are: Judaism as the topical social-political reality of this people as well as culture and humanities issues that Judaism shares with the rest of the world. The main issue guiding all the articles is the distinction between needs and values; means and purpose.
