MAIMONIDES LECTURE FEBRUARY 4
Rabbi Reuven Ziegler will introduce his new book, Majesty and Humility: the Thought of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, at a special Maimonides School lecture Saturday evening, February 4, 2012.
The new book, crafted to make the complex ideas of Rabbi Soloveitchik, zt”l, accessible to the general reader, is being released in conjunction with this lecture.
“Encountering the Rav’s writings is an exciting and fascinating endeavor, but not always an easy one,” Rabbi Ziegler wrote in the preface to his volume. “This book attempts to facilitate the reading of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s works by providing explication and analysis of his thought.”
Rabbi Ziegler, director of research and archives for the Toras HaRav Foundation and editor-in-chief of Yeshivat Har Etzion’s Virtual Beit Midrash, is a scholar who has edited numerous volumes of Rabbi Soloveitchik's writings. He prepared Majesty and Humility at the request of the Maimonides School and Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter, former director of the Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Institute in Brookline.
