Franz Rosenzweig is one of the greatest contributors to Jewish
philosophy in the twentieth century and is, with Martin Buber and
Abraham Heschel, one of the Jewish thinkers most widely read by
Christians. "On Jewish Learning" collects essays, speeches, and
letters that express Rosenzweig's desire to reconnect the profound
truths of Judaism with the lives of ordinary people. An assimilated
Jew and scholar of German philosophy, Rosenzweig was on the point
of conversion to Christianity when the experience of a Yom Kippur
service in 1913 brought him back to Judaism, and he began to study
with philosopher Hermann Cohen. Seeking how to be an observant Jew
in the modern world, Rosenzweig refused to characterize the
traditions of Jewish law as mere rituals, customs, and folkways.
His aim for himself and for others was to find Judaism by living
it, and to live it by knowing it more deeply. The Wisconsin edition
is not for sale in the British Commonwealth, the Republic of
Ireland, or South Africa.
