How is it possible, after the Shoah, to declare one's faith in the God of Israel? Halivni, Auschwitz survivor and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars, declares that at this time of God's near absence, Jews can still observe the words of the Torah and pray for God to come near again. This book addresses the question.
How is it possible, after the Shoah, to declare one''s faith in the God of Israel? Breaking the Tablets is David Weiss Halivni''s eloquent and insightful response to this question. Halivni, Auschwitz survivor and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars of the past century, declares that at this time of God''s near absence, Jews can still observe the words of the Torah and pray for God to come near again. Jews must continue to study the classic texts of rabbinic Judaism but now with greater humility, recognizing that even the greatest religious leaders and thinkers interpret these texts only as mere people, prone to human error. Breaking the Tablets is important reading for anyone who feels burdened by the question of how it is possible to believe in God and practice their religion.
