Jacob Schacter
Judaism's Encounter with Other Cultures: Rejection or Integration?: Rejection or Integration?
The issue of Judaism's relationship to secular learning and wisdom is one of the most basic concerns of Jewish intellectual history. The authors collected in this study discuss both sides of the issue and collectively offer an eloquent and convincing case for the perpetuation of Judaism's dialogue with the 'outside' world.
Authors: David Berger, Gerald J. Blidstein, Rabbi Dr. Jacob J. Schacter, Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein, Shnayer Z. Leiman
