Description

We discuss the degree to which the Rabbis interacted with Hellenistic Culture (High and Low). Who is really an Apiqoros? We define the serious challenge posed by Islamic Theology to Judaism and the response. In that connection I discuss the utter failure of Modern Orthodoxy and Haredi Orthodoxy to take the full measure of the moral and intellectual challenge posed by contemporary culture.
