Reviews / Votes
"A new short book, Where Halakhah and Philosophy Meet, part of a series on contemporary Jewish philosophers, shows how Rav Bleich powerfully combines these two areas of expertise, merging them into a sharp comment on contemporary religious politics...This short book showcases Rav Bleich's amazing career of developing a completely traditional halachah within a modern scholarly framework." -Gil Student, Jewish Action: The Magazine of the Orthodox Union -- Reviews in Brief (2016)More details
