For the sixth year running, TRADITION will continue its tradition of turning to our esteemed editorial board for endorsements for summer reading. Some may be amused to think of a seaside read with the 29 tomes our team chose – but that’s what you get from TRADITION’s thought leaders—sometimes surprising suggestions, but always reading worthy of your attention. Win a subscription by being the first to predict the most titles which will appear this year.

The Tradition Podcast brings together Marc Herman and Ahron Adler to discuss aspects of their common work on Maimonides. Among other topics, they consider differences in approach to Maimonidean research carried out by academicians as opposed to a rabbinic educator who benefits from certain academic methods, and how Adler synthesized traditional “yeshiva style” learning with academic tools in his new book, reviewed by Herman recently in TRADITION.

The life of moral philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, who passed away last month at age 96, constituted a roaming intellectual and spiritual journey. His critique of secular moral theories that had emerged out of the Enlightenment as abject failures should cause people of faith to pay attention to his writing. Daniel Rynhold observes that most Orthodox Jews have been exposed to MacIntyre through his profound impact on the thought and teachings of R. Jonathan Sacks—and encourages us to dig deeper into the source.

As Israel ends Shabbat many are exiting their safe rooms and first starting to absorb the news of the past 24 hours. In my home in Efrat we entered the "mamad" with the sirens right at the moment of candle lighting on Friday, and have been in and out since. The anxiety of the moment draws our mind back to one of the most arresting posts TRADITION has published since October 7, 2023: this reflective essay by Israeli poet Bacol Serlui. Please read it with prayer for Israel and those standing in its defense. —Jeffrey Saks, Editor
