Samson Raphael Hirsch citations

Samson Raphael Hirsch est un rabbin allemand du XIXe siècle . Opposant de la réforme du judaïsme, il fonde la communauté orthodoxe de Francfort-sur-le-Main et jette les bases, avec Azriel Hildesheimer, du judaïsme orthodoxe moderne ou néo-orthodoxie. Premier auteur écrivant en langue allemande moderne en faveur du judaïsme orthodoxe, il établit la première école juive moderne, et défend dans ses nombreux écrits sa conception sur l'intégration d'éléments de la culture moderne dans la structure du judaïsme sous le nom de Torah im Derekh Eretz .

Il est en outre l'un des plus premiers commentateurs modernes avec le Malbim à défendre le judaïsme contre les arguments de la critique radicale, s'opposant sur ce point non seulement aux théoriciens du mouvement réformé, mais aussi à l'école positive-historique fondée par le rabbin Zacharias Frankel.

Samson Raphael Hirsch: Citations en anglais

“The more the Jew is a Jew, the more universalist will his views and aspirations be, the less aloof will he be from anything that is noble and good, true and upright, in art or science, in culture or education; the more joyfully will he applaud whenever he sees truth and justice and peace and the ennoblement of man prevail and become dominant in human society.”

Commentary on Genesis XXIV, 67 quoted by Joseph H. Hertz, Pentateuch, p. 87

“There are probably no creatures that require more the protective Divine word against the presumption of man than the animals, which, like man, have sensations and instincts, but whose body and powers are nevertheless subservient to man. In relation to them man so easily forgets that injured animal muscle twitches just like human muscle, that the maltreated nerves of an animal sicken like human nerves, that the animal being is just as sensitive to cuts, blows and beating as man. Thus man becomes the torturer of the animal soul, which has been subjected to him only for the fulfilment of humane and wise purposes; sometimes out of self-interest, at other times in order to satisfy a whim, sometimes out of thoughtlessness—yes, even for the satisfaction of crude satanic desire.”

Horeb: A Philosophy of Jewish Laws and Observances, translated by Isidor Grunfeld, London: Soncino Press, 1968, vol. II https://books.google.it/books?id=tEIIAAAAIAAJ, p. 292, sec. 415.

“The prophet of the new message came into their midst with the cry of "religion allied to progress"; he filled the blank, pacified their conscience and wiped out their shame. With this magic word he turned irreligion into Godliness, apostasy into priesthood, sin into merit, frivolity into virtue, weakness into strength, thoughtlessness into profundity.”
