About This Text

Author: Hayim Nahman Bialik
Composed: Odessa, 1916 CE
A landmark essay of new Hebrew literature that envisions the relationship of classical halakhah and aggadah as a model for the contours of the emerging Jewish culture in Palestine. It is also a harsh critique of Bialik's contemporaries, whom he blamed for artificially divorcing art from ethics and action.
