Description

How did Torah leaders react to the sudden freedom of the 19th century? Emancipation was one of the most powerful forces of modern history, and it left Jewish leaders asking profound questions. How does one remain a committed Jew in a society that offers it freedom? How can one engage in Christian-European culture while still remaining dedicated to faith? How does one interact with Jews who have rejected their Judaism? We will explore these questions and more, and trace the effects of emancipation on the Halachic system.
