Covenantal Imperatives, a
collection of essays selected from the nearly six decades of Rabbi
Walter Wurzburger's illustrious career, combines the author's
mastery of Halakhah with a deep understanding of Jewish philosophy.
By adopting religious cohesion as the cornerstone of his ideas,
Rabbi Wurzburger builds a case for the meeting point of ethics and
traditional Judaism, delving deeply into the thoughts of some of
the greatest Jewish thinkers, especially those of his teacher,
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik. Covering topics ranging from
cooperation with non-Orthodox branches of Judaism, the Sabbath, and
his concept of modern Orthodoxy, Rabbi Wurzburger's essays are a
true representation of the work of an original thinker and leader
in the American Jewish community.
