Author Description

As the Internet changes almost everything in life, Rabbi Gil Student stands out as a pioneer in using the technology to create a community dedicated to meaningful Torah study. His blog Hirhurim, now the online periodical Torah Musings, explores timely issues of faith and meaning in the contemporary world based on classical Jewish texts -- including the sacred place of tradition in a world dominated by innovation. Articles of Faith marks the twentieth anniversary of Hirhurim-Torah Musings, with a history of the website and extensive, in-depth analyses of controversial topics of Jewish belief, bringing traditional texts and commentaries to bear on the most contentious religious issues of belief, faith in an age of doubt, artificial intelligence in halachic decision-making and the challenges of biblical criticism. -- Cover page 4.
