Torah im Derech Eretz

When Hirsch first came to Frankfurt in 1851, he proclaimed Torah im Derech Eretz as the "banner" for his congregation, the Israelitische Religionsgesellschaft — the phrase has since been synonymous with Hirsch as well as with his philosophy. As seen, Hirsch was not unique in extending Derech Eretz to include broad knowledge of the secular world; rather, his role was to formalize a philosophy of Derech Eretz that incorporated a practical response to modernity.

Neo-orthodoxy is an approach to theology that was developed in the aftermath of the First World War (1914-1918). It is primarily associated with the Swiss Protestant Karl Barth (1886-1968). The other significant theologians in this movement were Emil Brunner (1899-1966) and Rudolf Bultmann (1884-1976). Some theologians believe that Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971) did more to introduce Barthian neo-orthodoxy to America than anyone else. The neo-orthodox thinkers had strong disagreements between themselves and so neo-orthodoxy canno ...

While it is undisputed that his Torah im Derech Eretz was his real innovation, the exact implementation has been greatly debated. Those on Modern Orthodox's right wing, and Haredi followers, including Hirsch's own descendants (his son-in-law and successor Rabbi Solomon Breuer, his grandson Rabbi Joseph Breuer and the latter's successor Rabbi Shimon Schwab) hold that Hirsch only wanted J ...

As an Orthodox Jew, Rabbi Lamm's theology is based on the corpus of classical rabbinic Jewish principles of faith. While not demanding that every Jew literally accept each of Maimonides' 13 principles of faith, the faith that he preaches and teaches is consonant with these teachings. He believes that God exists, that God can reveal his will to mankind, and that the Torah (five books of Moses) is (plus or minus scribal errors) an exact transcription of God's revelation to Moses on Mount Sinai. As an Orthodox Jew, he believed that Judaism's or ...

As long as the Jews lived in segregated communities, and as long as all avenues of social intercourse with their gentile neighbors were closed to them, the rabbi was the most influential member of the Jewish community. In addition to being a religious scholar and clergy, a rabbi also acted as a civil judge in all cases in which both parties were Jews. Rabbis sometimes had other important administrative powers, together with the community elders. The rabbinate was the highest aim of many Jewish boys, and the study of the Talmud was the means ...
