Author Information

RABBI JOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK (19031993) was not only one of the outstanding talmudists of the twentieth century, but also one of its most creative and seminal Jewish thinkers. Drawing from a vast reservoir of Jewish and general knowledge, ""the Rav,"" as he is widely known, brought Jewish thought and law to bear on the interpretation and assessment of the modern experience. For over four decades, Rabbi Soloveitchik commuted weekly from his home in Boston to New York in order to give the senior shiur (class in Talmud) at Yeshiva University's affiliated Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary (RIETS), where he taught and inspired generations of students, among them many of the future leaders of all areas of Jewish communal life. Renowned for his broad knowledge and creative conceptualization of Jewish law, he was regarded as the leading intellectual figure in the effort to build bridges between Orthodox Judaism and the modern world.
