This work in the field of intellectual history explores religious
ideas which emerged in Jewish thought under the influence of
secular ideologies, and in response to the social and cultural
realities created by Jewish Emancipation, Zionism and socialism. By
concentrating on the major Jewish Orthodox movements of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Professor Fishman examines the
innovative mechanisms of traditional Judaism that were activated by
these movements, as they strove to accommodate new realities. The
study focuses specifically on the Religious Kibbutz Federation in
Israel, which (in the process of building its self-contained
pioneering settlements) developed a religious sub-culture that
incorporated the central values of Jewish nationalism and
socialism. Professor Fishman shows that - by creating the most
far-reaching synthesis of modern, and traditional Jewish, culture
at the community level - the settlements of the RKF may be regarded
as a test case for the measure of the capacity of Judaism to adapt
to modern life.
