As a Jew who made similar choices by leaving the world of my youth, entering (less reflectively and far more superficially than Merton) into the "monastic" world of Hasidic Judaism, I was taken by the way Merton was boldly unapologetic and surprisingly critical. He learned about the body's planes and virtual versus real space from Hasidic Judaism -- how to shape the contrast between the vertical and horizontal in an anatomically sound way. This will mean gains for various shades of Orthodox and Hasidic Judaism, but more important it will refocus the search for a liberal, reform, reconstructed Judaism of dynamic quality and broad appeal that was pursued in the first forty years of this century but which, I would argue, largely lapsed because of the shift of attention to political Zionism in the 1940s and '50s. |
