fourth listing above is an abridged excerpt from Moshe Maya's book about Rav
Amital's views on the Holocaust: A World Built, Destroyed and Rebuilt: Rav
Yehuda Amital's Confrontation with the Memory of the Holocaust (Ktav,
2005).
A
WORLD BUILT, DESTROYED AND REBUILT. Rabbi Yehudah Amital's Confrontation with
the Memory of the Holocaust. Author: Moshe Maya.
Sixty years after the
annihilation of European Jewry, the philosophical and existential confrontation
with the memory of the Holocaust is only intensifying. In this context, there is
particular significance to the views of thinkers who experienced the horrors of
the Holocaust first-hand. Rabbi Yehudah Amital, who has served for almost forty
years as head of one of Israel’s leading yeshivot, Yehivat Har Etzion, is a
Holocaust survivor. Throughout his career, he has attempted to address the
Holocaust and its ramifications on both the educational and spiritual levels.
Rabbi Amital’s confrontation with the memory of the Holocaust is characterized
by authenticity, honest and courage. This book analyzes his original religious
approach, against the background of other views, especially those of his fellow
Religious Zionists. This powerful work presents the reader with the direct and
painful grappling of a trailblazing educator and thinker with the most terrible
event in human history.
