| Summary |
"The Jewish Religion" by M. Friedländer is a comprehensive examination of Judaism, likely written in the late 19th century. This scholarly work aims to elucidate the core beliefs and practices of the Jewish faith, drawing from Biblical texts and Rabbinic tradition. The author seeks to present Jewish religious principles and the foundations upon which these beliefs rest, providing an interpretation accessible to those seeking knowledge of their faith. At the start of the text, the author reflects on the significance of faith in Judaism, introducing the concept that religion encompasses both belief in a higher power and the duties that arise from that belief. Friedländer emphasizes the necessity of understanding one's faith through the lens of both reason and tradition, highlighting the importance of interpreting Divine teachings in a way that resonates with both intellectual inquiry and spiritual commitment. He outlines that this work will serve as a guide for those wishing to deepen their understanding of Judaism, both in philosophical and practical dimensions.
