New Jewish Heroes & Functional Rebbes (Shaul Magid)

If  not for this, then what’s a “Jewish Philosophy Place” for? I’m always happy to post pdf’s of published articles written by friends and colleagues.

I’m recommending this one by Shaul Magid,

FROM SAINTHOOD TO SELFHOOD IN AMERICAN JUDAISM: ARTSCROLL’S NEW JEWISH HERO AND JEWISH RENEWAL’S FUNCTIONAL REBBE,

which you can read here: Modern Judaism-2012-Magid (1)

The take-away concerns the individualist  strain in American Haredi Judaism.
