Eliezer Schweid in Democracy and the Halakhah analyzes the writings
of Rabbi Haim Hirschensohn, one of the early Hebrew cultural
pioneers who laid the foundation for the Zionist enterprise. Born
in Safed Eretz Israel in 1857, Hirschensohn was pushed out of the
fanatic Ashkenazi religious community and ended up as an Orthodox
rabbi in Hoboken, New Jersey. His writings focus on finding a
philosophic basis that could reconcile the Torah with the
transformation forced upon the Jewish people by modernity so as to
come out with a coherent systematic system of political thought
that could encompass both. Co-published with the Jerusalem Center
for Public Affairs.
