The crucial question for today's Jewish world, Menachem Kellner
argues, is not whether Jews will have Jewish grandchildren, but how
many different sorts of mutually exclusive Judaisms those
grandchildren will face. Kellner's short, brisk, and accessible
book examines how the split that threatens the Jewish future can be
avoided. The first six chapters of this strongly argued book
analyse what religious faith means in classical Judaism and will be
of interest to anyone seeking lucid insights into the nature of
Judaism. The final chapter builds upon the conclusions of the first
six in order to argue for a new way of construing the relationship
of Orthodoxy to non-Orthodox Jews and institutions. Kellner argues
that the Orthodox practice of framing the debate with non-Orthodox
movements in terms of dogmatic fidelity contrasted with heresy is
not the traditional Jewish approach, and that the debate could well
be framed in other ways, ways that would allow all Jews to work
together towards a less polarized Jewish future. Undoubtedly, Must
a Jew Believe Anything? has the potential to make a difference to
how Orthodoxy understands itself and its relationship to other
Jewish movements in the modern world. For the second edition, the
author has added a substantial Afterword, reviewing his thinking on
the subject and addressing the reactions to the original edition.
