- Summary
- "Yirat Shamayim - literally the fear or awe of heaven (God) - is a fundamental concept for Orthodox Jews. Perhaps because it is so basic to their religious life - or perhaps because they would prefer not to think of the radical demands it makes - contemporary Orthodox Jews do not often systematically consider its implications. In this volume, the authors examine from a variety of perspectives what fear of heaven requires in definition, education, ideology, the synagogue and politics."--book jacket.
