What can we do to repair, rewind and reset Jewish time to
ensure a thriving existence in the future?
The generation of the late twentieth century experienced a
rupture in Jewish time. As a result of our confrontation with
Modernity, the integration of Jews into the American mainstream,
the shattering tragedy of the Holocaust, and the miraculous rebirth
of a Jewish State in the Land of Israel, we can no longer look
easily to the past for lessons of faith and models of Jewish
meaning. No longer do we confidently project ourselves into the
future. So much of what was taken for granted in earlier times is
now open to question.
In this thought-provoking book, five celebrated leaders in
Judaism, representing a broad spectrum of contemporary Jewish
experience, reinterpret Jewish life, re-envision its institutions,
and re-imagine its future in the shadow of the events of the
twentieth century.
Reflecting on the unique events of this century, these eminent
scholars assert a shared recognition of human responsibility as the
quintessence of God s presence in the world. They imagine a new
stage in the development of the ancient Covenant, a stage in which
human beings take responsibility for shaping the Jewish historical
experience. They explore how that new stage will find expression in
the rhythms of Jewish personal and communal life its implications
for "halachah, " prayer, spirituality, the synagogue, and our
relations with the world.
