Frases de Yossef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik

Rabino Yossef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik nasceu de uma família tradicional de Rabinos importantes da comunidade internacional de judeus ultraortodoxos. Salientou-se muito cedo nos estudos religiosos, e se tornou um novo integrante da Agudat Israel nos Estados Unidos, a qual foi fiel mesmo depois de deixar de ser integrante. Em 1935, ele visitou Israel com o propósito de se candidatar ao rabinato chefe da cidade de Tel-Aviv, não sendo eleito no final. Nesta visita, teve contato com o Rabino Kook e foi palestrante na Yeshivat Merkaz Harav.

Em 1956, depois de ter passado o Holocausto e a fundação do Estado de Israel, o Rav Soloveitchik acabou se filiando ao movimento sionista, e se tornou Presidente de Honra do movimento Mizrahi mundial até seu falecimento em 1993. Seu tio, o Rabino Meir Bar-Ilan, foi de grande influência nesta decisão. Seus dilemas e conclusões foram descritos num discurso que proferiu na comemoração do dia da independência de Israel em 1957 – editada posteriormente e chamada pelo título Kol Dodi Dofek .Segundo sua filosofia, o Estado de Israel não recebe a santidade automática da Terra de Israel , mas faz parte das escolhas feitas a cada etapa, por isso os judeus devem ser ativos no desenrolar dos fatos em Israel e no sionismo. E, sem dúvida, os fatos relacionados com a criação do Estado de Israel e seu desenvolvimento até os dias de hoje são milagres que afirmam a tese de que um judeu observante deve tomar parte deles.O Rabino Soloveitchik herdou o lugar de seu pai como rabino chefe da Yeshivá Rabi Ytzhak Elchanan, conhecida como Universidade Yeshiva, e se tornou também o reitor da faculdade de filosofia judaica neste mesmo estabelecimento. A partir deste estabelecimento de ensino, difundiu sua filosofia sobre o sionismo e a vida moderna de um judeu. Com seu carisma e sua inteligência, ele reuniu um número muito grande de alunos e seguidores, mesmo entre aqueles que não o conheceram diretamente. Ele é considerado o pai do judaísmo ortodoxo moderno nos Estados Unidos, corrente paralela aos sionistas religiosos em Israel.

Um dos alunos mais ligados a ele, seu genro, o Rabino Aharon Lichtenstein imigrou a Israel, concretizando sua filosofia sionista, e se tornou Rabino Chefe de uma das maiores Yeshivot sionistas em Israel, Yeshivat Har Etzion, junto ao Rabino Yehuda Amital. Com isso, sua filosofia sionista se difunde em Israel também, já tendo formado vários Rabinos e várias outras Yeshivot.

Yossef Dov Halevi Soloveitchik: Frases em inglês

“As long as man has not ascended to the rank of existence where he leaves behind him the domain of the universal and enters into his own personal domain—no longer dependent upon the principles operative in the realm of the universal—he is still subject to the rule of the species and the universal form. However, as soon as he liberates himself from the burden of the species, he becomes a free man. Complete freedom belongs only to the prophet, the man of God. The man who is a mere random example of the species, on the other hand, is wholly under the rule of the scientific lawfulness of existence. Between this species man and the man of God, between necessity and freedom, is the middle range in which most people find themselves.”

“There is a distinct reluctance, almost an unwillingness, on the part of Torah to grant man the privilege to consume meat. Man as an animal-eater is looked at askance by the Torah. There are definitive vegetarian tendencies in the Bible.”

“On the night of the exodus, the people met God, had a rendezvous with Him, and made His acquaintance for the first time. On Yom Kippur night, man gets very close to his Father in heaven, again meets Him, talks to Him, cries before and implores Him. The grandeur and singularity of these two nights lie in the God-man confrontation.”

“As a result of scientific man's creativity there arises an ordered, illumined, determined world, imprinted with the stamp of creative intellect, of pure reason and clear cognition. From the midst of the order and lawfulness we hear a new song, the song of the creature to the Creator, the song of the cosmos to its Maker.”

“Man of old who could not fight disease and succumbed in multitudes to yellow fever or any other plague could not lay claim to dignity. Only the man who builds hospitals, discovers therapeutic techniques, and saves lives is blessed with dignity.”

“Halakhic man, well furnished with rules, judgments, and fundamental principles, draws near the world with an a priori relation. His approach begins with an ideal creation and concludes with a real one. To whom may he be compared? To a mathematician who fashions an ideal world and then uses it for the purpose of establishing a relationship between it and the real world. … The essence of the Halakhah, which was received from God, consists in creating an ideal world and cognizing the relationship between that ideal world and our concrete environment.”

“The physicist … engages in complex and difficult calculations, involving the manipulating of ideal, mathematical quantities that, at first glance, are wholly lacking in the music of the living world and the beauty of the resplendent cosmos. It would seem as if there exists no relationship between these quantities and reality. Yet these ideal numbers that cannot be grasped by one's senses, these numbers that only are meaningful from within the system itself, only meaningful as part of abstract mathematical functions, symbolize the image of existence.”

“Perhaps these experiences of cognitive man are lacking in the emotional dynamic and turbulent passion of aesthetic man; perhaps these experiences are devoid of flashy and externally impressive bursts of ecstasy or stychic enthusiasm. However, they are possessed of a profound depth and a clear penetrating vision. They do not flourish and then wither away like experiences that are only based on a vague, obscure moment of psychic upheaval.”
