More Carmy

September 11th, 2001 was a day that changed the world. Along with that of most Americans, my life was changed that day in a number of ways. I had the privilege of spending a large chunk of that day with R. Shalom Carmy, making our way from uptown Manhattan to Brooklyn and speaking about a number of religious and philosophical issues that were on my mind.

Rabbi Carmy is among the top Modern Orthodox thinkers alive today. He is also the moral conscience of Orthodox Jewish academia and, to a large degree, the rest of us (hopefully) thinking Jews.

ATID, with the help of R. Yitzchak Blau, has put a collection of essays by R. Shalom Carmy on the web. The essays are here, and a general introduction is here.
