Summary:

Although Jewish scholars have recognized the French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas as one of the greatest talmudic minds of this century, the majority of Jews have remained ignorant of his teachings, largely because his work -- even in translation -- is dense and erudite. Rabbi Ira Stone, who has studied Levinas's work for many years and incorporated his methods and perspectives into his own teaching, now makes Levinas accessible to lay readers for the first time.
