Items related to On Repentance
The subject of repentance, or teshuvah, captivated Rabbi Soloveitchik's imagination, and it is easy to understand why. As a transformation of the personality in response to the divine
will, teshuvah uncovers the depths of human nature and of man's relationship with God.
In addressing repentance, Rabbi Soloveitchik confronted questions such as: Can a person change? Is one s personality static or dynamic? What is the relationship between reason and emotion, between sin and suffering, between guilt and growth, past and future, free will and causality? How is one to approach God with love or fear, as an individual or as part of a community, appealing to grace or justice, with a sense of self-nullification or self-worth?
Given the issues raised, it is no wonder that some of Rabbi Soloveitchik's most religiously powerful and psychologically penetrating insights appear in his discussions of repentance. This classic volume speaks to the sensitive and searching soul not just during the days of penitence but throughout the entire year.
With a foreword by Dr. Itzhak D. Goldberg and an afterword by Rabbi Reuven Ziegler.

About the Author:
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (1903 1993) born in Eastern Europe into a family of renowned rabbis. Initially trained in the scholarship of the sacred texts of Judaism, he enrolled at twenty-three at the University of Berlin in order to study physics, mathematics, and philosophy. He wrote his doctoral dissertation on the philosopher Hermann Cohen. In 1932, he accepted the position of chief rabbi of Boston, where he resided until his death. In 1937, he founded the Maimonides School there. For over four decades he commuted to New York City in order to teach at Yeshiva University, where his Talmudic and philosophical lectures gained renown for their probity and breadth. He was regarded throughout the world as a leading authority on the meaning of the Jewish law and as the leading intellectual figure in the effort to build bridges between Orthodox Judaism and the modern world.
