Although the ideas of "tradition" and "modernity" may seem to be directly opposed, David Ellenson, a leading contemporary scholar of modern Jewish thought, understood that these concepts can also enjoy a more fluid relationship. In honor of Ellenson, Michael A. Meyer and David N. Myers have gathered contributors to examine the permutations and adaptations of these intertwined forms of Jewish expression.
