New book announcement: Chochmo Ba’goyim Taamin, By Rabbi Yonason Rosman

By Eliezer Brodt

I would like to announce a concise new work which deals with some topics that are sure to be of interest to many of the readers of the blog.

The sefer is titled Chochmo Ba’goyim Taamin, written by Rabbi Yonason Rosman (182 pp.). The goal of the book is to deal with the famous issue of to what extent has Jewish thought and religion been influenced by foreign cultures? This new work explores the above question with its various controversial aspects. From Talmudic times to the contemporary period, from philosophy to music; information is culled from rabbis and academics alike, bringing the relevant material to the reader’s attention.

Here is the Table of Contents and the index of topics discussed in the book:

Currently the book has been printed in a very limited run; for people in the US it is available here at Mizrahi Book Store. If there is an interest, more copies will be printed.

For those in England and Eretz Yisrael please contact eliezerbrodt@gmail.com to reserve a copy.
