The Battle for the Jewish Mind recovers what those flames tried to destroy: the worldly rabbinic tradition, which held that Torah and the sciences were not enemies but partners in the knowledge of God. Drawing on the letters, bans, counter-bans, and polemics of the Maimonidean Controversies — some of the most dramatic and least-studied episodes in Jewish history — Sina Kahen traces the clashes between two schools of Jewish thought, and their relevance today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRabbi Yosef Zarnighian\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSina Kahen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the Founder of Da’at Press.
