The Decline of Intellectual and Spiritual Ardor in North American Religious Life

“Faith once moved us to study our heritage deeply, while truth asked of us that we do it critically, in light of all that we know. Willful ignorance was never an acceptable recourse. The interaction set us apart as the vital center of modern Judaism.” From a 2006 speech by Ismar Schorsch, then President of (the Conservative Movement) Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

Schorsch goes on to lament the demise of exegesis that is intellectually and spiritually rich at the same time.

The problems Schorsch evokes are not those of conservative Judaism alone. Read the whole thing. Thanks, Iyov. Shabbat shalom.

Enjoy, accord, prise, it's best not to combine most people as much as a standard hate pertaining to an issue. [url=http://cheapsunglasses66.com/]Cartier Sunglasses[/url] Cartier Sunglasses
