During his forty years at the Seminary, Lieberman served in the Rabbinical Assembly as one of the most important arbiters of Jewish law, though his decisions were often too progressive to be recognized by the Orthodox. Marc B. Shapiro here considers Lieberman’s experiences to examine the conflict between Jewish Orthodoxy and Conservatism in the mid-1900s. This invaluable scholarly resource also includes a Hebrew appendix and previously unpublished letters from Lieberman.

    tolerance in orthodoxy

    marc b. shapiro is a wonderful scholar his works really reflect the vast knowledge he posses, anyone wishing to discover the reaction orthodox leaders had toward saul lieberman's incorporation to the jewish theological seminary, and generally the tolerance toward behaviors not accepted by them, would definitely enjoy this great book.
    i profoundly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject.
