| Summary |
This volume offers a critical engagement with the thought of Rabbi Dr. Irving ""Yitz"" Greenberg, one of the most thoughtful and earnest voices to emerge from within American Orthodoxy. It examines his lifelong and complex encounter with the Modern Orthodox stream of American Judaism and the extent to which his teachings functioned as ""the road not taken."" |
