Description

Rav Hirsch is considered by many to be the father of Modern Orthodoxy. While it’s difficult to discern how today’s orientation compares to his proposed ideology, he was certainly a trailblazer in creating a philosophy that embraced modern culture while staying committed to every aspect of religious service. Progressing from smaller to larger cities through his career, he is most known for his last ~35 years as the Arab in Frankfurt, a city overtaken with the new Reform movement but one in which he nonetheless successfully grew the Orthodox community. We also looked at the beginning conversation in his fictional but prototypical ‘nineteen letters’.
