Submitting to divine religious authority in a world of personal autonomy: The challenge of choice
Description
Article
Abstract
R. Aharon
Lichtenstein once
wrote, “On the one
hand, he [the modern
Orthodox Jew]
recognizes – both as
a matter of a priori
inherent necessity
and in light of
relevant sources –
that authority, and
submission to it, is
critical. […] On the
other hand, the
typical modern
Orthodox Jew bridles
at the thought of
constricting his
autonomy. […]”[xxiv]
What can be done
toward helping this
individual resolve her
or his dilemma?
Nothing less than the
future of a strong,
viable Jewish
community in
America is at stake. (from Conclusion)
