Abstract
The essence, the substance, of the teachings of Judaism, needs to be constant from one generation to the next. But the idiom, style, manner, approach and mode of communication of that essence or that substance, may, and for some, must, change from one generation to the next. What was effective in the Middle Ages is not necessarily effective in the twenty-first century; what worked well in Eastern Europe will not necessarily work well in America. The message is the same; the medium changes from time to time and from place to place.8
