Between the Yeshiva World and Modern Orthodoxy: The Life and Works of Rabbi Jehiel Jacob Weinberg, 1884-1966

The discussion of the inner struggles of one of twentieth-century Judaism's most enigmatic religious leaders, a figure who became a central ideologue of modern Orthodoxy despite his traditional training in a lithuanian yeshiva-elucidates many institutional and intellectual phenomena of the Jewish world, and especially in pre-war Europe, that have so far received little attentionMarc B. Shapiro is the author of 'Between the Yeshiva World and Modern Orthodoxy: The Life and Works of Rabbi Jehiel Jacob Weinberg, 1884-1966', published 2002 under ISBN 9781874774914 and ISBN 1874774919.
