CENSORSHIP AND SELF-CENSORSHIP: DRAWING THE RED LINES

Rabbi, Stephen Wise Free Synagogue

Orthodoxy and Censorship - Professor Marc B. Shapiro, Weinberg Chair of
Judaic Studies, University of Scranton

I plan to be there!

Ammiel Hirsch, is of course, co-author of One People, Two Worlds with Yosef Reinman.

Regarding Marc Shapiro (R. Jacob Jehiel Weinberg biography, the Limits of Orthodox Theology, many papers etc) I t
horoughly enjoyed his books, but am I the only one who gets the impression that he can't figure out why no one will ban his books?
