Covenant & Conscience—A Groundbreaking Journey to the Heart of Halakha"Anyone curious about the Jewish way of life, yet dissatisfied with much of contemporary Jewish theology and practice—repelled, perhaps, by the cheap and vulgar apologetics of those who seek to justify and sustain some of the tradition's systematic immoralities, who smugly deny expression to any doubt or uncertainty, claiming a monopoly on absolute truth—is invited to join me on this pilgrimage."—from the IntroductionIn this deeply personal look at the struggle between commitment to Jewish religious tradition and personal morality, Dr. David Hartman, the world’s leading Modern Orthodox Jewish theologian, probes the deepest questions at the heart of what it means to be a human being and a Jew.Dr. Hartman draws on a lifetime of learning, teaching and experience as a social activist to present an intellectual framework for examining covenantal theology as it is applied to religious life. As much an expression of his impassioned commitment to Jewish law as it is testament to a lifetime of intellectual questioning and courage, this bold examination of the halakhic system offers fresh insights into Judaism and the quest for spiritual nourishment.Introduction"What Planet Are You From?": A Yeshiva Boy's Pilgrimageinto Philosophy, History, and Reality 11 Halakhic SpiritualityLiving in the Presence of God 272 Toward a God-Intoxicated Halakha 493 Feminism and ApologeticsLying in the Presence of God 694 Biology or Covenant?Conversion and the Corrupting Influence of Gentile Seed 1115 Where Did Modern Orthodoxy Go Wrong?The Mistaken Halakhic Presumptions of Rabbi Soloveitchik 1316 The God Who Hates LiesChoosing Life in the Midst of Uncertainty 159Notes 183Suggestions for Further Reading 187Index 188

The intellectual legacy of one of the twentieth century’s greatest religious thinkers—explained by a leading theologian of our day. “It is only through experiencing the contradictions in human existence, through being overwhelmed by the divine presence, through the finite human being feeling terror-stricken by the infinite majesty of God that one can develop an authentic religious personality.”—David Hartman (From Chapter 6) Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (1903–1993) profoundly influenced modern Orthodox Judaism in the United States—and Judaism as a whole—by opening up a discourse between the tradition of Torah study and Western philosophical thought. The future of both religious Zionism in Israel and of Orthodoxy in America hangs to a great extent on how we interpret his intellectual legacy. Dr. David Hartman’s penetrating analysis of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s work reveals a Judaism committed to intellectual courage, integrity, and openness. A renowned theologian and philosopher, Hartman meticulously explores the subtlety and complexity of Rabbi Soloveitchik’s theological thought, exposing a surprising intersection of halakhic tradition and modern Western theology—a confrontation that deepens and expands our spiritual understanding. Hartman’s provocative interpretation bears witness to the legitimacy of remaining loyal to the Judaic tradition without sacrificing one’s intellectual freedom and honesty.

A Vital, Living Judaism Can Be Found When the Voice of the Past Engages Modern Experience"[This] synthesis of tradition and modernity is not a philosophy meant to serve as the platform for a new movement or institution, but a process of living experience among individuals and communities that choose to adopt its angle of vision. It is a process that demands constant introspection and renewal and cannot be branded or co-opted by any formal or official frame of reference. It stands separate from all expressions of institutionalized Judaism, as it never knows what new forces it will absorb as it moves into the future."—from the IntroductionDr. David Hartman, the world's leading modern Orthodox theologian, presents his own painful spiritual evolution from defender of the rule-based system of Jewish law to revolutionary proponent of a theology of empowerment, one that encourages individuals and communities to take greater levels of responsibility for their religious lives. In this daring self-examination, he explains how his goals were not to strip halakha—or the past—of its authority but to create a space for questioning and critique that allows for the traditionally religious Jew to act out a moral life in tune with modern experience.In achieving this synthesis of tradition with the sensibilities of contemporary Judaism, Hartman captures precisely what creates vitality in living Judaism and charts the path to nurture its vitality forever.Introduction: From Loving Defender to Loving Critic:An Intellectual Autobiography ixPart I: The Spirituality of Halakha: Early Essays1 The Joy of Torah 32 The Body as a Spiritual Teacher: Learning to Accept Interdependency 253 Democratizing the Spiritual: The Risks and Rewards of Halakha 394 Embracing Covenantal History: Compassion, Responsibility, and the Spirituality of the Everyday 715 Creating a Shared Spiritual Language: The Urgency of Community and the Halakhic Roots of Pluralism 916 Conquering Modern Idolatry: Building Communities of Meaning around Shared Aspirations 1117 Learning to Hope: A Halakhic Approach to History and Redemption 127Part II: Abraham's Argument: Reclaiming Judaism's Moral Tradition8 Abraham’s Argument: Empowerment, Defeat, and the Religious Personality 1579 A Covenant of Empowerment: Divine Withdrawal and Human Responsibility 17710 Mishpachtology: Judaism as a Family System 18711 Custom and Innovation: Stepping Beyond the Parameters of the Past 19912 My Daughter Is Not My Mother: Rethinking the Role of Women in Traditional Judaism 21113 Hillel’s Decision: Subjective Piety as a Religious Value 22714 Halakha as Relationship: Toward a God-Centered Consciousness 24715 Among Abraham’s Children: The Confrontation of the Particular with the Universal 257Notes 267Bibliography 293Index 298

“‘A covenantal vision of life, with mitzvah (divine commandment) as the central organizing principle in the relationship between Jews and God, liberates the intellect and the moral will. I seek to show that a tradition mediated by the Sinai covenant can encourage the development of a human being who is not afraid to assume responsibility for the ongoing drama of Jewish history. Passive resignation is seen not to be an essential trait of one whose relationship to God is mediated by the hearing of mitzvot.”—from the Introduction This interpretation of Jewish teaching will appeal to all people seeking to understand the relationship between the idea of divine demand and the human response, between religious tradition and modernity. Hartman shows that a life lived in Jewish tradition need not be passive, insulated, or self-effacing, but can be lived in the modern pluralistic world with passion, tolerance, and spontaneity. The Judaic tradition is often seen as being more concerned with uncritical obedience to law than with individual freedom and responsibility. In A Living Covenant, Hartman challenges this approach by revealing a Judaism grounded in a covenant—a relational framework—informed by the metaphor of marital love rather than that of parent-child dependency. This view of life places the individual firmly within community. Hartman shows that the Judaic tradition need not be understood in terms of human passivity and resignation, but rather as a vehicle by which human individuality and freedom can be expressed within a relational matrix.

“This work is not addressed only to scholars of Judaism or theologians, but also, and primarily, to all Jews and non-Jews who would like to share the thoughts and struggles of a person who loves Torah and Halakhah, who is committed to helping make room for and celebrate the religious and cultural diversity present in the modern world, and who believes that a commitment to Israel and to Jewish particularity must be organically connected to the rabbinic teaching, ‘Beloved are all human beings created in the image of God.’” —from the Introduction With clarity, passion, and outstanding scholarship, David Hartman addresses the spiritual and theological questions that face all Jews and all people today. From the perspective of traditional Judaism, he helps us understand the varieties of twentieth-century Jewish practice and shows that commitment to both Jewish tradition and to pluralism can create bridges of understanding between people of different religious convictions.
