Author Biography
Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (1903-1993) was one of the twentieth century's outstanding talmudists and Jewish thinkers. Drawing on a vast reservoir of Jewish and general knowledge, he brought Jewish thought and law to bear on the interpretation and assessment of the modern experience and inspired generations of students. Soloveitchik's first major published work, Ish ha-Halakhah (Halakhic Man), is widely acknowledged as a classic in modern Jewish thought. Lawrence J. Kaplan is an associate professor of Jewish studies at McGill University. He is best known for his studies of Soloveitchik and for his translation from the Hebrew of Soloveitchik's classic Ish ha-Halakhah (Halakhic Man), lauded by scholars as the gold standard for Soloveitchik translations.
