U. Rosenzweig Books

Franz Rosenzweig personified the conflict many young, intelligent Jews faced: the pull of modernity versus the practice of traditional Jewish ideals. His life, a journey from the assimilated periphery back to the core of Jewish life, mirrors the dilemmas of a generation grappling with cultural identity. Emerging from the trenches of World War I, Rosenzweig became a pivotal figure in forging a distinct modern Jewish culture while remaining deeply connected to his German surroundings. His enduring legacy extends beyond his profound philosophical works to the establishment of a renowned academy dedicated to advanced Jewish studies.
