Rav Samson Raphael Hirsch was a nineteenth-century rabbi,
|
||
commentator, educator, and communal leader. In an age of rapid
|
||
social change, he articulated a Judaism of unwavering Torah
|
||
commitment and serious engagement with the wider world.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Through works such as <cite>The Nineteen Letters</cite>,
|
||
<cite>Horeb</cite>, and his Torah commentary, Rav Hirsch taught
|
||
that every dimension of human life could be directed toward
|
||
<span lang="he-Latn">avodas Hashem</span>, the service of God.
