Covenant and the Jewish Conversion Question
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-80144-1 (ISBN)
Covenant and the Jewish Conversion Question reevaluates conversion and Jewish identity through the lens of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's dual conception of the Covenants of Fate and Destiny. By studying an array of key rabbinic texts through this lens, the book explores the boundaries and interplay between these biblical covenants through apostasy, holiness and the key elements relating to conversion law. This understanding provides a relevant framing device to deal with the conversion and Jewish identity crises faced in the State of Israel and beyond.
Benjamin Levy is the CEO of Mosaic United, a historic joint venture partnership between Israel and the Diaspora to strengthen Jewish identity and connections to Israel for youth around the world. He holds rabbinic ordination from the Chief Rabbinate of Israel, and a PhD from the University of Sydney, Australia.
