Dr. Adam S. Ferziger, S.R. Hirsch Chair for Research of the Torah and Derekh Erez Movement in the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at Bar-Ilan University, speaks with Shlomo Zuckier about Rav Aharon Lichtenstein’s “fragmentary Judaism” and his ideas about how observant Jews should relate to non-observant Jews. Dr. Ferziger describes Lichtenstein’s approach as being “distinctive among major Orthodox figures, in that he demonstrates far greater appreciation and effort to acknowledge positive elements in the positions of other Jews than his predecessors.”
