Translated title of the contribution: The Thought of Rabbi Lichtenstein: Between Image and Reality

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The article claims, that the inner motive of Rabbi Lichtenstein's theoretical and practical philosophy is implanting the norms of North American Orthodoxy in Eretz Israel. Rabbi Iichtenstein wanted to create the philosophy of the yeshiva or yeshiva's scholar (ben Torah). His spiritual attitude towards his father-in-law, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik was dialectic, between admiration and criticism. Rabbi Lichtenstein's thought focused on a few motifs that were in a way unique in Israeli Rabbinic thought: the major role of Aesthetics, compartmentalization of moral values and so on.
