Publisher's Synopsis
Examines a philosophical movement to build a new image of Judaism that was more in line with the modern world. Focuses on the Torah of Bresc, the movement's primary document, and its founder, Solovetichik (1853-1918), but considers the work of 12 rabbis in all who made significant contributions to the movement.
