About this book
For Leo Baeck, teaching and action were one and the same. He regarded Judaism as always having responsibility for the contemporary world and its existence. In Theresienstadt, he was a comforter and helper: H. G. Adler compared him to a beacon of light amidst the flood of tears of despair. His presence in the camp gave many prisoners courage and hope. Two of Baeck's works stand out within his oeuvre: his early book The Essence of Judaism (1905) and his late work, This People Israel: The Meaning of Jewish Existence (1955), a virtual capstone to modern Jewish theology and important contribution to posterity by this systematic thinker. At the same time, the selections in this volume provide an introduction to Leo Baeck's life and teaching. "Leo Baeck: Works" is an invitation to discover or become reacquainted with the legacy of Leo Baeck, one of the most important Jewish thinkers of the 20th century.
