Reihe: Supplements to The Journal of Jewish Thought and Philosophy

Schweid concludes his history of modern Jewish thought by narrating two major progressions in Diaspora Jewish thought of the early twentieth century: (1) the varied responses of ultra-Orthodox Diaspora Jewish thinkers to the Holocaust (Wasserman, Shapira, Ashlag, Dessler, Teichthal, Rokeah, and Yosef Yitzhak Schneersohn) and (2) the formative thinkers of the major movements in American Jewish thought (Kohler, Schechter, Kaplan, Herberg, Strauss, Soloveitchik, and Heschel).
