National Jewish Book Award Winner

Halakhic Man is the classic work of modern Jewish and religious thought by the twentieth century’s preeminent Orthodox Jewish theologian and talmudic scholar, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. It is a profound excursion into religious psychology and phenomenology, a pioneering attempt at a philosophy of halakhah, and a stringent critique of mysticism and romantic religion. This 40th anniversary edition features this new scholarly apparatus:


• A translator’s preface tracing the book’s reception and evolving influence
• A translator’s introduction shedding light on the heart of Soloveitchik’s argument
• A list of errata to the original text
• Translator’s annotations explaining Soloveitchik’s references and underlying teachings
• A glossary of key terms
• A bibliography of works cited in this edition
• Two indexes: an index of biblical and rabbinic sources and an index of names and subjects incorporating the edition’s full content.
