  • Part One: Just Like Everyone Else, Only More So PAULA FREDRIKSEN
    T HE J EWISH Q UARTERLY R EVIEW, Vol. 95, No. 1 (Winter 2005) 119–130 DAVID BIALE, ed. Cultures of the Jews: A New History. New York: .1196 ם Schocken Books, 2002. Pp. xxxiii Part One: Just Like Everyone Else, Only More So PAULA FREDRIKSEN Hard science deals with facts: it explains and successfully manipulates the physical universe. Its empirical successes attest to the validity of its truth-claims, and to the proximity (or identity) of its laws to and with Reality. Hard science is to facts as philosophy is to truth. Like its empirically REVIEW FORUM oriented sister, philosophy identifies what things really are (their es- sence) and how we truly know them (our epistemological foundations). Together, science and philosophy reveal the truths of the physical and the metaphysical universe. W RITING THE TWO preceding paragraphs just gave me the same guilty pleasure that I get when listening to classic soft-rock. Indeed, they are its intellectual equivalent. I had gotten through high school and even through college operating with these assumptions. Graduate school, in the mid-70s, hit hard. I read Kuhn. I read Wittgenstein. I watched friends in departments of English and in comparative literature spinning around as they encountered Derrida, de Man, Foucault, Lacan, Barthes. We all read cultural anthropology. The old definitions dissolved. The view from nowhere, whether scientific or philosophical, vanished. Only a welter of perspectives remained. Thirty years later, intellectually swamped as we are by the late twenti- eth century’s fervid overproduction of interpretive theories, a 1970s de- constructionist almost looks like a Litvak rabbi.

  • Israel at 70
    Israel at 70 Israel as a Double Gift Dr. Ari Berman, President, Yeshiva University Our generation is blessed to witness the 70th birthday of the modern State of Israel. While the State of Israel is of profound importance to Jews everywhere, it holds unique resonance for us as religious Zionists, for it potentially signals the coming of a long-hoped-for redemption. Consequently, as we reflect upon the seven decades since Israel’s birth, it is useful to clarify the way in which a modern nation-state like Israel can herald redemption. Of the many foundational ideas that Biblical Israel has contributed to the history of civilization, perhaps the most ambitious is the concept of a collective redemption—the notion that not only should individuals strive for their ultimate betterment, but that society can and must move history forward together. Reflections on this theme are most concentrated in the Bible’s prophetic literature. Broadly speaking, one finds therein two contrasting models for what redemption entails, the first represented in the book of Ezekiel, the second in the book of Isaiah. Ezekiel, in chapter 37, envisions redemption as a project fundamentally benefitting the Jewish people. Although dispersed throughout the world, and oppressed throughout history, this paradigmatic minority will one day be revived. The climax of Ezekiel’s best known eschatological prophecy—his vision of the valley of the dry bones—is God’s promise to His people: “I will bring you back to the land of Israel” (37:12). For Ezekiel, the goal of the redemptive process is internally oriented. Isaiah, by contrast, consistently articulates a redemptive vision that encompasses all of humanity.
