	Leo Baeck
		Leo Baeck accepted Hermann Cohen's idea of ethical monotheism as the essence of Judaism but added mystery, a sense of the holy, as a second Jewish essence.
		Baeck, a liberal modern Jew, was not prepared to assign authority to the ritual acts, only to the ethical imperatives.
		By emphasizing experience and mystery as part of the essence of Judaism, Baeck moved radically away from Cohen's "religion of reason." However, Baeck's emphasis on universal ethics and ethical monotheism made him a bridge between the rationalists and the modern Jewish existentialists.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Ideas & Belief: Leo Baeck
		Leo Baeck (1873-1956) was one of the most profound and creative liberal Jewish theologians of the 20th century.
		Leo was brought up in a traditional home, observing the dietary laws and engaging in daily Talmud study, but his father's friendship with the local Calvinist minister taught him to appreciate the possibility of interfaith friendship and dialogue.
		Baeck's rabbinic scholarship was complemented by his philosophical studies, first in Breslau and later under the philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey at the University of Berlin.

		Leo Baeck (1873-1956) was one of the outstanding German-Jewish scholars of the 20th Century and a leader of Progressive Judaism.
		From 1897 to 1912 and on, Baeck served as a rabbi in Oppeln, Duesseldorf and Berlin.
		Whether Baeck's thesis is correct or not concerning Proclus and his school as the historical origin of Sefer Yetzirah, the value and plausibility of his detailed analysis has been acknowledged by both Merlan and Scholem, and the essay deserves to be read by those for whom the German remains inaccessible.

		Rabbi Leo Baeck, a great scholar and compassionate soul, was born in Lissa, Poland in 1873, the son of a rabbi.
		Baeck 's notion of ethical monotheism was much the same as Hermann Cohen's notion, but he added to this the aspect of mystery -- a sense of the holy -- as being part of the essence of Judaism.
		Baeck was, indeed, a scholar of early Christian texts, studying the gospels to elucidate the real Jesus from the layers of Paul and imposed Hellenism.

	Deutsche Botschaft Lusaka - Leo Baeck (+ 02.11.1956)
		Leo Baeck himself provided the inscription to his tomb: "From a Dynasty of Rabbis." Leo Baeck - who died 50 years ago at the age of 83 in London - above all saw himself as a rabbi, as a religious teacher of Judaism.
		Baeck remained active and involved until his death, calling into existence the "Society for Jewish Study" and later leading the "Council of Jews from Germany." The latter organization, representing the interests of German Jewish emigres, provided the impetus for the foundation of the International Leo Baeck Institute for Research of late Jewish history in Germany.
		With the Leo Baeck Prize, the Central Committee of Jews in Germany annually recognises those who have contributed to the Jewish community in Germany in an extraordinary manner.
