AN THE MODERN ERA, JEWISH intellectual activity has been largely bifurcated. There have been creative masters of the Talmud and Midrash, its com- mentaries and super-commentaries, many of whom had but scant knowledge of Western thought. At the same time, there have been brilliant exponents of Western philosophy who possessed only the barest knowledge of classical Jewish sources. Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik was one of the very few modern Jewish thinkers to stand in the front rank in both spheres. As such, he played a vital role in the growth and development of Orthodoxy as a Jewish religious movement in the United States. Rabbi Soloveitchik's death on April 8, 1993, after a long illness, was a great loss for his numerous disciples who regarded Rabbi Soloveitchik as their "Rav," i.e., teacher par excellence. Rabbi Soloveitchik's death also marked the end of an era in that he was the last of the great European-trained Talmud scholars to have a profound impact on Orthodox religious life in the United States. Ironically, no Orthodox figure born and educated in the United States could possibly have matched Rabbi Soloveitchik's influence in the country to which he immigrated.

Background Rabbi Soloveitchik's family pedigree and innate gifts made it a virtual certainty that he would achieve greatness in the world of Talmud study. Rabbi Soloveitchik was born in Pruzhan, Poland, on February 27, 1903, to one of the most illustrious rabbinic families in Eastern Europe. His paternal grandfather, Rabbi Hayim Solo- veitchik, head of the renowned Volozhin Yeshivah, developed a highly sophisticated method of talmudic analysis that permanently transformed advanced study of Tal- mud. The members of the Soloveitchik family were clearly among the aristocrats of the "Litvaks" (those of Lithuanian Jewish cultural orientation), whose religiosity was characterized by a highly cerebral approach to Judaism focusing largely on study of the Talmud. Rabbi Soloveitchik's training in the "Brisker" method of Talmud study (named after the Jewish name for Brest-Litovsk, the town in which his grandfather settled following his departure from the Volozhin Yeshivah) came through his father, Rabbi Moses Soloveitchik, a noted Talmud scholar in his own right and later head of the Talmud faculty at Yeshiva University. Given his Litvak origins and training, it is significant that among Rabbi Soloveitchik's early childhood teachers was a follower of Chabad Hassidism. The passionate spirituality of this Hassid and his theological awareness — embodied in the study of the Chabad classic — had a profound impact on the young Soloveitchik.

Although his adolescent education revolved around Talmud study, Rabbi Solo- veitchik received the equivalent of a gymnasium education through private tutors. At the age of 22 he left his family and enrolled as a student of philosophy at the University of Berlin. Interestingly, although many of Rabbi Soloveitchik's writings have a powerful autobiographical dimension, in none of his published works do we find an explanation for his sharp break with family tradition in receiving a serious secular education. At the University of Berlin, Rabbi Soloveitchik was especially drawn to neo-Kantian philosophy, completing a Ph.D. dissertation in 1931 on Hermann Cohen's metaphysics and epistemology. Shortly after completing his doctorate, Rabbi Soloveitchik married Tonya Lewit, herself the recipient of a Ph.D. in education from the University of Jena. By all accounts, his wife exercised a profound influence on Rabbi Soloveitchik; her death in 1967 left him devastated and in many ways altered his life and thought.

Career and Communal Activities A year after his marriage, Rabbi Soloveitchik emigrated to the United States and shortly thereafter became chief rabbi of the small Orthodox community in Boston, the city that remained his home for the rest of his life. The letters of approbation sent in support of Rabbi Soloveitchik's appointment by Lithuanian rabbinic scholars attest to his remarkable rabbinic scholarship. Thus, famed Rabbi Abraham Kahane- Shapiro of Kovno wrote: The spirit of his illustrious grandfather . . . Rabbi Hayim Soloveitchik rests upon Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveitchik. Just like his grandfather he too is a master of the entire range of Talmudic literature .... Happy is the country that will be the home of this great sage. The sages have ordained him to be the true interpreter of all religious problems, and the halakhah shall always be in accordance with his rulings. A major communal achievement during Rabbi Soloveitchik's early years in Bos- ton was the establishment of the first in New England, the Maimonides School, which continues to flourish to this day. Throughout his career, Rabbi Soloveitchik championed the day-school movement as the key to developing a vital Jewish religious life in the United States. In addition to carrying out his traditional rabbinic duties, preaching, and seeing to the Jewish education of adults and children, Rabbi Soloveitchik participated in academic conferences, delivering papers on abstruse philosophical topics appropriate to a doctor of philosophy from the University of Berlin. This Boston-based life shifted dramatically in 1941 when Rabbi Soloveitchik was appointed head of the Talmud faculty at New York's Yeshiva University, a position made vacant by the death of his father and which he was to hold until 1985, when illness forced his retirement. It was at Yeshiva that Rabbi Soloveitchik achieved great prominence, serving as the master teacher of the great majority of practicing Orthodox rabbis trained in the United States. JOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK (1903-1993) / 577

The years following Rabbi Soloveitchik's arrival at Yeshiva were critical for Orthodoxy in the United States. Large numbers of Jews, immigrants and their children, were abandoning their European roots in Orthodoxy and blending into American society. The great challenge at that point was to create a version of Orthodox Judaism that would remain loyal to tradition, yet show itself capable of responding to the conditions of American modernity. It was Rabbi Soloveitchik, perhaps more than any other individual, who made this possible, thereby contribut- ing immeasurably to the survival and eventual flourishing of Orthodoxy in the United States. Rabbi Soloveitchik's success in this endeavor was the result of his integration of three interconnected roles — halakhic authority; charismatic teacher and role model; and theologian. In combination, these elements made Rabbi Soloveitchik's affirmation of select core aspects of modernity decisive for his students and follow- ers, just as they made his affirmation of the basic teachings of traditional Judaism decisive as well. It must be remembered that authority in Orthodox Judaism rests in large measure on mastery of the Talmud and the halakhic codes. It was due precisely to Rabbi Soloveitchik's unmatched credentials in this area that his positive response to modernity proved so influential in Orthodox circles. Several examples may be cited that reflect Rabbi Soloveitchik's openness to the modern experience. Thus, in the face of intense opposition from traditionalist Ortho- dox leaders, Rabbi Soloveitchik permitted the Rabbinical Council of America — the organization of modern Orthodox rabbis, who looked to Rabbi Soloveitchik for leadership — to remain in the Synagogue Council of America, an interdenomina- tional body of Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox synagogues and rabbis. This decision had the effect of keeping alive one of the few venues in which representa- tives of the various branches of Judaism came together. Of far greater significance was Rabbi Soloveitchik's positive orientation toward Western culture and secular education. Since the Enlightenment era, many Ortho- dox leaders had opposed secular education, seeing in it the opening wedge of assimilation and the seedbed for the perversion of the traditional teachings of Judaism. Indeed, Rabbi Soloveitchik's grandfather had chosen to close the Volozhin Yeshivah, which he co-headed, rather than permit a measure of secular education, as the Czarist government was demanding. This position, while somewhat softened in the United States, continues to influence many traditionalist Orthodox leaders down to the present time. Yet so rigorous an interpretation of the tradition would have been unacceptable to the rapidly Americanizing masses of Orthodox Jews in the first half of the 20th century, and would have completely marginalized the Orthodox community, which was already suffering from massive defections. Rabbi Soloveitchik's long-standing principled affirmation of the value of secular education, of scientific and technological progress, and of broad exposure to 'Vestern culture — all richly exemplified in his own life and writings — had the effect of legitimating them for Orthodox Jews. Orthodoxy could now lay claim to a "progressive" outlook more attractive to the younger generation of Orthodox Jews. 578 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1995

Rabbi Soloveitchik's deeply felt personal commitment to religious Zionism had a similar impact. Many of the early Zionist pioneers who settled in Palestine were avowedly antireligious, and this led leading Orthodox rabbinic figures to oppose the Zionist enterprise. Yet the heady successes of 1948 and beyond captured the hearts and imagination of the great majority of Jews around the world. Rabbi Solo- veitchik's abandonment of the anti-Zionist position of his own family — a painful step which he described in a number of haunting essays — and his beautifully articulated affirmation of religious Zionism served once again to legitimate an Orthodox perspective consonant with Jewish aspiration in the modern era. Indeed, Rabbi Soloveitchik served as honorary president of the Religious Zionists of Ameri- can from 1946 until his death. Still, for all his effort to project a liberal, enlightened Orthodoxy, Rabbi Solo- veitchik remained a staunch defender of the Halakhah. Thus, for example, he led the battle to maintain separate pews for men and women in synagogues as a defining characteristic of institutionalized Orthodoxy in the United States. More generally, Rabbi Soloveitchik, in his classroom teaching and public lectures, called for stead- fast commitment to halakhic observance and classic Torah study in the face of the powerful attractions of an open American society. Allied with this traditionalism was a discomfort with certain features of modern Orthodox life, including what he perceived to be insufficient spiritual depth and intensity. Rabbi Soloveitchik set an example of his own in this regard by devoting the bulk of each day to Talmud study in the traditional mode. Thousands of Orthodox Jews, young and old alike, flocked to Rabbi Soloveitchik's spellbinding annual lectures during the Ten Days of Repent- ance and commemorating various family yahrzeits, when he would speak for hours at a time. A favorite theme in these lectures was the glory of East European Jewish life, as exemplified by the great Torah scholars of the past. It was these figures whom Rabbi Soloveitchik held up as models of Orthodoxy. Rabbi Soloveitchik's traditional side was evident for all to see. Yet it was precisely this which gave his positive orientation to modernity added weight in the eyes of his Orthodox followers.

The Writings While Rabbi Soloveitchik was immersed in Talmud study, the majority of his writings are theological in nature. In recent years, members of Rabbi Soloveitchik's family, as well as former students, have begun to publish his halakhic materials, some based on original sources and some on lecture notes. A serious evaluation of these writings has yet to appear and remains a major desideratum for all students of Rabbi Soloveitchik's thought. Still, it remains true that Rabbi Soloveitchik's most fully worked-out and sustained writings are theological. Four book-length studies by Rabbi Soloveitchik have appeared to date. The first, Halakhic Man, was published as a Hebrew-language essay in 1944 and translated into English in book form in 1983. The second, The Lonely Man of Faith, appeared JOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK (1903-1993) / 579 as an essay in Tradition in 1965 and in book form in 1991. The third, But from Thence You Shall Seek, saw light as a Hebrew-language essay in Hadarom in 1978 and remains untranslated. The fourth, The Halakhic Mind, was prepared in manu- script in 1944 but awaited publication in book form until 1988. A somewhat shorter Hebrew-language essay, Hark, My Beloved Knocks, published in 1961 and trans- lated only recently, is also worthy of note because of its stirring defense of religious Zionism in a post-Holocaust world. It was Halakhic Man that first established Rabbi Soloveitchik's reputation as a Jewish thinker of note. This essay is unique in attempting to explain the inner world of the talmudist through language and concepts drawn from Western culture. Why do deeply religious Jews devote their intellectual energies to pondering the detailed minutiae of Jewish law? What Rabbi Soloveitchik set out to do was nothing less than to construct a theological model making sense of what must historically be reckoned as a leading expression of the Jewish intellectual and religious genius. Here, finally, was an attempt by an acknowledged master of the Talmud to construct a theory of Talmudism out of the legal stuff of the Talmud itself, rather than out of the aggadic or midrashic materials usually drawn on in discussions of Jewish theology. The philosophical, theological, and rabbinic learning that Rabbi Soloveitchik brings to bear in Halakhic Man is extraordinary. Rabbi Soloveitchik develops his argument by use of a typological analysis, an element that appears in all of his major writings. He distinguishes between two ideal types of the human personality, "cognitive man" and "religious man." "Cognitive man," best represented by the mathematician-scientist, approaches reality as a problem to be solved and is driven by a boundless zeal to demystify the natural world. "Cognitive man" strives for creative intellectual mastery of the cosmos and achieves this by constructing abstract, mathematically formulated laws that explain reality. This picture of "cognitive man" draws heavily on neo-Kantian philosophy, which regards the enterprise of the mathematician-scientist as the epitome of auton- omous human achievement. "Religious man," in contrast, as portrayed by Rabbi Soloveitchik, seeks not to solve the fundamental mystery of the universe but rather to cultivate it, since that mystery bespeaks a transcendent realm, a Being which grounds the universe. "Reli- gious man" feels trapped by the physical bonds of reality, with all its pain and disappointment; he struggles to free himself from his this-worldly prison so as to take flight into the realm of the transcendent. "Cognitive man" and "religious man," Rabbi Soloveitchik argues, come together in a third ideal type, "halakhic man," whose real-world exemplar is the talmudist. In the key turn of his argument, Rabbi Soloveitchik identifies "halakhic man" in the main with the neo-Kantian hero, "cognitive man," although, to be sure, "ha- lakhic man" shares certain key features of "religious man" as we'1 On the face of it, the identification of "halakhic man" with "cognitive man" would seem strange. What could the traditional talmudist poring over his ancient tome have in common with the modern theoretical physicist exploring the farthest reaches of the universe? 580 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1995

In a striking interpretive move, Rabbi Soloveitchik brings them together by arguing that both employ theoretical models to interpret reality. The theoretical physicist constructs theorems and laws to explain the world he perceives. Likewise, the talmudist constructs theorems and laws — the Halakhah — to make sense of the world he perceives. As Rabbi Soloveitchik puts it: When halakhic man approaches reality, he comes with his Torah, given to him at Sinai, in hand. He orients himself to the world by means of fixed statutes and firm principles. An entire corpus of precepts and laws guides him along the path leading to existence. Halakhic man, well furnished with rules, judgments and fundamental principles, draws near the world with an a priori relation. His approach begins with an ideal creation and concludes with a real one. To whom can he be compared? To a mathematician who fashions an ideal world and then uses it for the purpose of establishing a relationship between it and the real world. . . . The essence of the halakhah, which was received from God, consists in creating an ideal world and cognizing the relationship between the ideal world and our concrete environment. There is no phenomenon, entity or object in this concrete world which the a priori halakhah does not approach with its ideal standard. "Halakhic man," in Rabbi Soloveitchik's scheme, stands with "cognitive man" as a creative, autonomous individual, the master of the world he creates. Yet, at the very same time, "halakhic man" joins "religious man" in a "thirst for the living God." As Rabbi Soloveitchik states: The only difference between religious man and halakhic man is a change of courses — they travel in opposite directions. Religious man starts out in this world and ends up in supernal realms; halakhic man starts out in supernal realms and ends up in this world. Religious man, dissatisfied, disappointed and unhappy craves to rise up from the vale of tears, from concrete reality, and aspires to climb up the mountain of the Lord. . . . Halakhic man, on the contrary, longs to bring transcendence down into this valley of the shadow of death — i.e., into our world, and transform it into the land of the living. While Rabbi Soloveitchik's analysis in Halakhic Man is not without problems, it remains a compelling portrait of the inner world of the talmudist, the first of its kind employing the language and categories of Western thought. It must be recalled that Halakhic Man was written during the dark years of the Holocaust, when Rabbi Soloveitchik himself might have feared for the very survival of the world he left behind but loved so deeply. Had history worked out otherwise, it would have been an epitaph on the tomb of Brisk. In many ways, of course, it still is. In a telling epigraph to the book, Rabbi Soloveitchik quotes a talmudic passage about the father of biblical Joseph, who, it is said, appears to Joseph in the window, preventing his sinning with the wife of Potiphar. It is difficult not to imagine this modern Joseph, heir to both Brisk and Berlin, sitting in America as Europe burns, feeling compelled to immortalize the world of Brisk with all the skills of Berlin. In this he surely succeeded, projecting the talmudist as the intellectual twin of the scientist, the cultural hero of the brave new world of modernity. Yet it remains a poignant paradox that none of the individual halakhic men so powerfully portrayed JOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK (1903-1993) / 581 in the work could have written this apologia for their lives, since they lacked the requisite secular tools. Rabbi Soloveitchik's second major work, The Lonely Man of Faith, appeared 21 years after Halakhic Man. Here again, the typological approach is to be seen, but with the neo-Kantian conceptual framework replaced by an existentialist orienta- tion, and the focus on Talmudism giving way to issues of broad religious concern. Also put aside is Rabbi Soloveitchik's claim to objectivity: in the very first paragraph of The Lonely Man of Faith, Rabbi Soloveitchik indicates that, "instead of talking theology, in the didactic sense, eloquently and in balanced sentences, I would like, hesitatingly and haltingly, to confide in you, and to share with you some concerns which weigh heavily on my mind and which frequently assume the proportions of an awareness of crisis." Here, Rabbi Soloveitchik is speaking for himself, expressing his deepest religious feelings. The Lonely Man of Faith is best characterized as a philosophical midrash of breathtaking proportions. Rabbi Soloveitchik develops his thesis out of a careful but creative reading of the two creation stories told in chapters one and two of Genesis. He distinguishes between two Adams, two ideal types of human beings. "Adam I," also labeled "majestic man," carries the mandate to rule the world as a being created in the image of God. "Adam I" wants to be fully human, and this entails achieving dignity. Thus, "Adam I" is outer-directed, creative, and functionally oriented. By way of contrast, "Adam II," also called "covenantal man," is an in-depth personal- ity, inner-directed, non-utilitarian, and submissive. The fundamental problem that animates his existence is loneliness, or, more precisely, what Rabbi Soloveitchik calls "ontological loneliness": " 'To be' means to be the only one, singular and different, and consequently lonely. . . . The T is lonely, experiencing ontological incomplete- ness and casualness, because there is no one who exists like the T. . . ." "Adam IPs" experience of loneliness contrasts sharply with that of "Adam I," since the latter regularly joins together with others to achieve practical, majestic ends. What "Adam II" seeks, by contrast, is a redeemed existence involving the establishment of a "covenantal relationship" with God and fellow humans. This comes about through a Kierkegaardian sacrificial gesture, in which man surrenders his claims to power and humbly submits in faith to God. This is then followed by an opening to other human beings, who together forge a "community of commit- ments." Existential loneliness, Rabbi Soloveitchik makes it clear, is overcome by means of faith, sacrifice, and defeat. While there is little doubt that Rabbi Soloveitchik strongly identifies with "Adam II" in The Lonely Man of Faith, one of his central claims is that God wants every human being to be both "Adam I" and "Adam II." Both Adams, he stresses, are created in the image of God and represent ideal expressions of humanity. As Rabbi Soloveitchik puts it in a key passage of The Lonely Man of Faith: [God] wants man to engage in the pursuit of majesty-dignity as well as redemp- tiveness. He summoned man to retreat from peripheral, hard-won positions of vantage and power to the center of the faith experience. He also commanded man to advance from the covenantal center to the cosmic periphery and recapture the 582 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1995

positions he gave up a while ago. He authorized man to quest for "sovereignty"; he also told man to surrender and be totally committed. He enabled man to interpret the world in functional, empirical "how" categories.... Simultaneously, he also requires of man to forget his functional and bold approach, to stand in humility and dread before the mysterium magnum surrounding him, to interpret the world in categories of purposive activity instead of those of mechanical facticity. The Lonely Man of Faith creatively links Rabbi Soloveitchik's religious and secular concerns. At one and the same time, it powerfully affirms human majesty, achievement, and technology in an age that greatly admires these qualities, while making it clear that they are no substitute for the life of submissive faith and the practice of religious discipline. In But from Thence You Shall Seek, Rabbi Soloveitchik presents yet another typological blueprint, this one shaped by the structures of phenomenological analy- sis. Rabbi Soloveitchik's aim here is ambitious in the extreme: to describe step by step the stages leading to devekut, attachment to God. The quest for God begins with what Rabbi Soloveitchik calls the "natural experi- ence," which embraces free and creative reflection on the vastness of the cosmos and the laws that govern it, the experience of beauty and the ethical, and the profound human capacity for philosophical speculation. All this leads to a powerful yearning to pierce the secret of creation; in short, to achieve self-transcendence in the abso- luteness of God. Nevertheless, Rabbi Soloveitchik maintains, the natural quest for God can never be wholly successful, since the transcendent God does not fully reveal Himself in creation or through the structures of the human intellect. Man naturally despairs at this failure, and in response God confronts man in what Rabbi Soloveitchik calls the "revelational experience." Here, God unexpectedly reveals Himself in an over- whelming expression of His will and command, and man recoils in fear and obedi- ence. Thus, what begins as an autonomous, self-confident quest for God evolves into an experience of submission and defeat before God and His law. However, Rabbi Soloveitchik goes on to argue that the dualism entailed in the "natural" and "revelational" experiences can eventually be overcome. A partial step in this direction is taken in the next phase of the quest, which Rabbi Soloveitchik labels imitatio dei. In this stage, trust and fear, which are instinctual, are replaced by the higher duality of love and awe. Man feels the deepest love for the all-perfect and all-powerful God he confronts, but at the same time is filled with an overpower- ing sense of awe in reflecting on the infinite gap that separates him from God. This dual response leads to the urge to imitate God's greatness by imitating His behavior; man recognizes the impossibility of approaching the awesome God, and yet, in love, freely and joyously chooses to do the best he can, which is to emulate God. And just as God's behavior is characterized by freedom, creativity, and morality, so too is man's behavior in this phase characterized by the same qualities, as exemplified in the moral law of the Halakhah. Thus, freedom and creativity are restored to the JOSEPH B. SOLOVEITCHIK (1903-1993) / 583 religious experience, having been previously banished by the terror-inspiring revela- tional experience. Rabbi Soloveitchik makes it clear that imitatio dei is only the first step in over- coming the dualism brought about by the "natural" and "revelational" experiences. The ultimate goal is attachment to God, devekut, which comes about as a result of an irrational burst of unquenchable love for God. However, devekut for Rabbi Soloveitchik is not some otherworldly, mystical state. Rather, it is an autonomous human assimilation of the divine intellect, will, and behavior in their moral aspects. Thus, Rabbi Soloveitchik gives devekut a strikingly this-worldly interpretation: the goal of devekut is the perfection of the world. Not surprisingly, Halakhah plays a central role in this process. The divine intellect, will, and behavior which man assimilates, Rabbi Soloveitchik tells us, find their expression in nothing other than God's revealed law, through which God seeks to perfect the world He created. Whether or not the essay suceeds in finally reconciling the dialectical forces of human autonomy and submission, it remains a landmark in Jewish intellectual history — a pioneering attempt at a phenomenological reconstruction of the human quest for God in which Halakhah is given a central role. No summary of Rabbi Soloveitchik's key theological writings would be complete without mention of Hark, My Beloved Knocks, a beautifully crafted and highly influential theological defense of Zionism. This work is framed around the theme of the Song of Songs: the beloved knocks at the door of his lover, but she is slow in responding. By the time the latter arises to answer the knock, her beloved is gone, and she must begin a long and difficult search to find him. In Rabbi Soloveitchik's view, the miraculous founding of the State of Israel in 1948 represents just such a historic knock on the door of Jewish history by God himself, and the challenge of the hour is whether Jews will respond creatively to that knock or allow the opportu- nity to be lost by dithering and spiritual cowardice. The knock on the door of Jewish history comes after the unspeakable horror of the Holocaust. Rabbi Soloveitchik argues in this context that classical discussions of theodicy are beside the point. The Jewish response to tragedy, he maintains, is not passive speculation, which can never penetrate the mystery of God's will, but rather vigorous action, i.e., the betterment of man's moral and religious self and the amelioration of the Jewish condition. The founding of the State of Israel represents God's gracious and miraculous offer of an opportunity for precisely this type of Jewish response. In the framework of his discussion, Rabbi Soloveitchik draws a distinction be- tween what he calls the "covenant of fate" and the "covenant of destiny." All Jews, he argues, share a common fate, in that they are exposed to the same forces of history. Thus each and every Jew shares a responsibility for all others. The founding of the State of Israel after the destruction of the Holocaust provides a deeply significant context in which to fulfill this responsibility in the fullest sense, by defending Jewish lives with military force for the first time in two millennia. How- ever, Jews also share a unique destiny, in which they are called upon to sanctify 584 / AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK, 1995 themselves and the world around them through a life of Torah observance and study. The founding of the State of Israel likewise provides a remarkable opportu- nity to fulfill this covenant. Rabbi Soloveitchik's analysis of the role of the State of Israel is, on the whole, quite traditional. He does not respond to Israel's founding in messianic terms, but rather with the conservative categories of Jewish self-defense and spiritual growth. In this way he diverges sharply from Rabbi and his followers. Nevertheless, the very traditionalism of Rabbi Soloveitchik's argument helped con- tribute to its success, since it provided a stirring and sophisticated argument for religious Zionism that was devoid of the potential hazards of pseudo-messianism.

Conclusion Even a cursory review of Rabbi Soloveitchik's major writings underscores the complexity of his religious approach. Throughout his life, Rabbi Soloveitchik strug- gled with the tension between an affirmation of human autonomy and self-suffi- ciency on the one hand, and deep feelings of submission before God on the other. Rabbi Soloveitchik strove mightily to live at once in different worlds — the worlds of science and faith, of Brisk and Berlin, the traditional house of Talmud study and the edifice the philosophers built. To his credit, he refused to compromise or adulter- ate his rigorous conceptions of, and commitments to, these different worlds. As a religious leader, Rabbi Soloveitchik was a heroic figure to countless young Orthodox Jewish intellectuals of his day. His own ongoing, existentially resonant struggles to shape a religious identity astride both tradition and modernity, the sophisticated as well as personal articulation he gave to that quest, and his religious passion and uncompromising rigor in classic Talmud study mirrored both the aspirations and conflicts of his students and followers, as it gave them erudite voice and often even long-sought resolution. It is they now who have an opportunity to build on his legacy.
