	Valley Beth Shalom Welcomes You!
		Soloveitchik mentions a number of instances in which the halachic control of the world includes the inner world of man. He mentions that the Gaon of Vilna, the great talmudist of the eighteenth century, learned on Sabbath afternoon that his brother had died.
		Once again and closer to home, Soloveitchik reports when the beloved daughter of R. Elijah Pruzna, the maternal grandfather of Soloveitchik was sinking in sickness, her brother entered the room where the father R. Elijah was wrapped in Tallith and Tefillin and informed Rav Elijah that his daughter was dying.
		Soloveitchik's mood is altered and so too his dreams of salvation.Unlike the Halachic man, the lonely man of faith redemption is not in success, not in control, but in defeat in accepting a horror will.

	FT April 2002: Love and Terror in the God Encounter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the early 1930s, Soloveitchik came to the United States to be a rabbi in the Boston Jewish community, and by the 1940s he was teaching at Yeshiva University.
		In Hartman’s view, Soloveitchik’s comparison between halakha and mathematics allowed him to propose “an antidote to the dangers posed by modern existentialists, who claimed that subjective passion is the hallmark of religious authenticity.” The demands that a set system such as halakha place on the individual prevent one from becoming overly infatuated with the self.
		Instead, it should be appreciated as Soloveitchik’s attempt to enter into a discussion with the general world of faith on questions pertaining to the nature of the religious experience.

	Religion and Public Life in the Thought of Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik - Yoel Finkelman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Soloveitchik uses language like, "steady oscillating between the majestic natural community and the covenantal faith community"; "continuous movement between the pole of natural majesty and that of covenantal humility"; "man is thrown" from one community to the other, "suddenly find[ing] himself" in the other community.
		Soloveitchik is so concerned with maintaining the purity of Adam the second's encounter with God that he insists that all prayer which does not address God in the second person, or which is recited without the proper psychological awareness of God's presence, is not genuine prayer.
		Soloveitchik prefers that the transformation from a secular public state to a religious one should occur gradually and non-coercively, with religion influencing people through ideology and education, employing the peaceful "power of the book." Politics and coercion, the "power of the sword," are inferior.

	Jewish Education at the Lookstein Center - RAV JOSEPH B Soleveitchik
		What differentiates the approach of Rav Soloveitchik from that of Haredi poskim and makes him the authority figure of so-called "Modern Orthodoxy" is his endorsement of secular studies, including philosophy, his espousal of religious Zionism, and his pioneering of intensive Jewish education for women.
		According to R. Soloveitchik, scientific methods are appropriate only for the explanation of natural phenomena but have no place in the quest for the understanding of the normative and cognitive concepts of halakha, which imposes its own a priori categories, which differ from those appropriate in the realm of science.
		It was out of this tension that Rav Soloveitchik developed a formula which enabled him to encounter the value system of modernity while remaining fully committed to traditional halakhic methodology.

	FT June/July 2000: His Master's Voice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		For most of his fifty years as Orthodoxy’s premier thinker, Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik was known simply as "the Rav." Born in 1903 in Russia, trained by his father in the Brisk (Brest—Litovsk) school of Talmud study (which his grandfather invented), he took the then unusual step of studying philosophy at the University of Berlin.
		Rabbi Soloveitchik’s theological outlook is distinguished by a consistent focus on halakah, i.e., the fulfillment and study of the divine law.
		The result was a phenomenology of the religious experience that began with the objective data of religion (in the Rav’s case halakah), which the believer must appropriate for himself.

		With no intention of engaging in hagiography, I would suggest that despite his innate shyness and modesty, Rabbi Soloveitchik rose to unparalleled prominence in part due to his possession of a rare combination of mind, heart, and tongue; he had a brilliant mind, a compassionate heart, and an unusual gift for oratory.
		One that I found especially so was when Rabbi Soloveitchik discussed his reasons for not accepting the offer to enter his candidacy for the position of Chief Rabbi of Israel.
		At the end of the very first letter in the volume, Rabbi Soloveitchik added a request to the addressee that both the letter and its contents not be publicized: "P.S. would greatly appreciate it if you would keep the contents of this letter confidential.

		FOUNDED IN 1937 BY THE REVERED Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik, Maimonides was meant to serve as a bridge between devotion to Judaism and full engagement - and success - in modern American life.
		The school went from the back room of a synagogue in Roxbury to a modern campus in Brookline; with buildings of brick, glass, and steel, its only concession to antiquity is its graceful archways and vaulted roofs.
