Author:
Translator:
Schweid concludes his history of modern Jewish thought by narrating two major progressions in Diaspora Jewish thought of the early twentieth century: (1) the varied responses of ultra-Orthodox Diaspora Jewish thinkers to the Holocaust (Wasserman, Shapira, Ashlag, Dessler, Teichthal, Rokeaḥ, and Yosef Yitzḥak Schneersohn) and (2) the formative thinkers of the major movements in American Jewish thought (Kohler, Schechter, Kaplan, Herberg, Strauss, Soloveitchik, and Heschel).
Eliezer Schweid was lifelong Professor of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University, Israel Prize laureate, philosopher and public intellectual, and author of over 40 books on Jewish thought, applying the Jewish legacy to issues of Jewish and universal human concern.
Leonard Levin has translated many of Eliezer Schweidâs books, including Eliezer Schweid: The Responsibility of Jewish Philosophy (Brill, 2013) and edited Studies in Judaism and Pluralism (Ben-Yehuda, 2016). He is professor of Jewish philosophy at Academy for Jewish Religion, Yonkers, NY.
Yuval Lieblich, M.A. (in philosophy, Tel Aviv University, 2012) is an author, translator and musician. His debut novel received the Israel Ministry of Culture prize in 2016. He lives in Israel.
