The Lonely Man of Faith at 40
New Insights and Reflections

ארבעים שנה לאיש האמונה הבודד
תובנות ומחשבות חדשות

This coming year marks forty years since the publication of Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik's monumental The Lonely Man of Faith, which appeared originally in Tradition (Summer 1965). ATID asked leading Jewish educators and communal leaders in Israel and the Diaspora to reflect on the following questions: What have the central ideas contained in The Lonely Man of Faith meant for you personally? How have those ideas shaped or informed your work as a teacher of Torah or Jewish communal leader? What is the continued relevance of The Lonely Man of Faith to contemporary religious life? How have those ideas affected the Jewish community? How might they?
