DESCRIPTION

The Internet era is blessed with remarkable access to texts, as well as the free-flow of ideas at the speed of light. In this age of instant access, Rabbi Gil Student stands out as a pioneer in using the technology to create a community dedicated to meaningful and traditional study of Torah. His blog Hirhurim, now the online periodical Torah Musings, explores timely issues of faith and meaning in the contemporary world based on classical Jewish texts - including the sacred place of tradition in a world dominated by innovation.

Articles of Faith marks the twentieth anniversary of Hirhurim-Torah Musings, with a history of the website and in-depth analyses of controversial topics of Jewish belief, bringing traditional texts and commentaries to bear on the most contentious religious issues of the day. Rabbi Student has been guided by the principle that even in an era where knowledge is democratized, we should still revere timeless truths and value traditional perspectives. He tackles issues like the binding nature of the thirteen principles of belief, faith in an age of doubt, the authority of the local rabbi in an age of instant answers, artificial intelligence in halachic decision-making, the response to the challenges of biblical criticism, and the role of Zionism in the Orthodox worldview. These extensive and in-depth articles show the strength and relevance of traditional Jewish belief in the Internet era.
