Addressing the concerns of both communities from the point of view of one who is deeply committed to religious pluralism, David Hartman suggests a more inclusive and inviting framework for the modern Israeli engagement of the Jewish tradition. He offers a new understanding of what it means to be Jewish-one which is neither assimilationist nor backward-looking, and one that enables different Jewish groups to celebrate their own traditions without demonizing or patronizing others. In a world polarized between religious and secular and caught within a sectarian denominationalism, Hartman shows the way to build bridges of understanding. The book explores the philosophies of two major Jewish thinkers of the Middle Ages, Yehuda Halevi and Moses Maimonides. A careful analysis of Maimonides' approach to Judaism shows that messianism is not the predominant organizing principle that makes Judaism intelligible and significant, Hartman contends. He argues against Halevi's triumphalism and in favor of using the Sinai covenant for evaluating the religious significance of Israel, for this approach gives meaning to Zionists' religious commitments while also empowering secular Israelis to reengage with the Jewish tradition. 410 0$aTerry lectures. 606 $aJews$zIsrael$xIdentity 606 $aJudaism$zIsrael 606 $aSecularism$zIsrael 606 $aZionism$xPhilosophy 615 0$aJews$xIdentity. 615 0$aJudaism 615 0$aSecularism 615 0$aZionism$xPhilosophy. 676 $a305.89/2405694 700 $aHartman$b David$f1931-$01493391 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777860203321 996 $aIsraelis and the Jewish tradition$93716357 997 $aUNINA
