| Abstract: | Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter makes a powerful case for the rabbinic benefits to be drawn from a familiarity with modern Judaic scholarship, as well as contemporary literature. While the study of Torah, traditionally defined, is pivotal, there is a growing body of academic research and publication that can serve to deepen one's appreciation and understanding of traditional texts. Such studies' can maximize the rabbi's impact as a speaker and teacher, at the same time adding an important dimension to one's own learning. |
