In this podcast, Rabbi Phillips author of 'Judaism Reclaimed', discusses the different ways of approaching God in Jewish philosophy. Rabbi Phillips focuses on Rav Hirsch's criticism of Maimonides' intellectual approach to God.

Rabbi Shmuel Phillips has spent almost two decades studying in yeshiva and kollel. During this time, he has also completed a law degree from the University of London. His book 'Judaism Reclaimed' examines a range of theological and philosophical discussions emerging from the Torah. Inspired by the approaches of Rambam, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, and other leading Jewish thinkers, the author analyzes both narrative and halachic areas of the Torah’s teachings. Drawing on a wide range of sources, he examines a number of challenges posed to Orthodox Judaism from the halls of academia and addresses them from the perspective of Jewish tradition.
