The Goal of the Ignatian Exercises and Soloveitchik's Halakhic Spirituality
The Goal of the Ignatian Exercises and Soloveitchik's Halakhic Spirituality
This chapter provides background on the life and religious activities of Rabbi Joseph Dov Soloveitchik, the spiritual mentor of so-called modern Jewish Orthodoxy in the United States. Soloveitchik's biography reflects the intellectual history of the twentieth century and its struggle with religion, which had to find a new standpoint in a secular world. Three cities influenced his religious exercise. These cities are Brisk in Lithuania where he was born in 1930; Berlin, Germany where he studied during the 1920s; and Boston, Massachusetts where he died in 1993. This chapter also discusses the similarity of religious practice with Ignatian spirituality.
