| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I analyzed what Jewish thinkers thought and argued about practicing the traditional Jewish law in German Jewish world in the early 20th century, namely Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig, Isaac Breuer and Abraham Heschel. By comparing their arguments, the research shows the complex relationship between tradition and the construction of identity among German Jews in the very secular German society at that time. Buber, Rosenzweig and Breuer represented different streams within Judaism then: Buber zionism (National-Jewish), Rosenzweig liberal Judaism (very unique type, though), Breuer Separatist Orthodoxy. Heschel, on the other hand, is one of the most prominent Jewish thinker after the World War II. They all tried, in their own way, to construct Jewish identity and reestablished relationship with the traditional religious law.
