This collection of book reviews from Conservative Judaism examines three significant scholarly works on Jewish intellectual and social history. The reviews employ critical analysis of contemporary scholarship on German-Jewish responses to anti-Semitism, medieval biblical commentary, and modern Jewish intellectual movements. Michael Meyer's review of Ismar Schorsch's "Jewish Reactions to German Anti-Semitism, 1870-1914" challenges the author's thesis that German Jewry was characterized by submissive accommodation until the founding of the Centralverein. Meyer argues that Schorsch oversimplifies the political motivations behind Jewish religious reform and neglects evidence of earlier Jewish self-assertion. Michael Fishbane's review of Charles Chavel's English translation of Ramban's Genesis commentary praises the scholarly translation of this influential medieval work, noting Ramban's synthesis of Franco-German exegetical traditions with mystical elements and his mastery of grammatical analysis. Andre Ungar's review of Nathan Rotenstreich's "Tradition and Reality" criticizes the author's analysis of six prominent Jewish thinkers, arguing that most of the figures examined appear dated and irrelevant to contemporary concerns. The reviews collectively demonstrate the complexity of Jewish intellectual development and the ongoing scholarly debates surrounding the interpretation of Jewish responses to modernity, traditional authority, and cultural transformation.
