"The term 'Rabbi' predominantly denotes Jewish men qualified to interpret the Torah
and apply halacha, or those entrusted with the religious leadership of a Jewish community.
However, the role of the rabbi has been understood differently across the Jewish world.
The significance of past and present rabbis and their religious and political influence
endures across the world. Rabbis of Our Time provides a comprehensive overview of
the most influential rabbinical authorities of Judaism in the 20th and 21st Century.
Through focusing on the most theologically influential rabbis of the contemporary
era and examining their political impact, it opens a broader discussion of the relationship
between Judaism and politics. It looks at the various centers of current Judaism and
Jewish thinking, especially the State of Israel and the USA, as well as locating rabbis
in various time periods. Through interviews and extracts from religious texts and
books authored by rabbis, readers will discover more about a range of rabbis, from
those before the formation of Israel to the most famous Chief Rabbis of Israel, as
well as those who did not reach the highest state religious functions, but influenced
the relation between Judaism and Israel by other means. The rabbis selected represent
all major contemporary streams of Judaism, from ultra-Orthodox/Haredi to Reform and
Liberal currents, and together create a broader picture of the scope of contemporary
Jewish thinking in a theological and political context. An extensive and detailed
source of information on the varieties of Jewish thinking influencing contemporary
Judaism and the modern State of Israel, this book is of interest to students and scholars
of Jewish Studies, as well as Religion and Politics"
