In this conversation, Rabbi Soloveichik joins JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin to discuss his book, Providence and Power: Ten Portraits in Jewish Statesmanship.
In conversation, Rabbi Soloveichik explains why the true measure of Jewish leadership must involve a biblical ideal. In his view, that must involve humility as well as accomplishment. While he does believe in a theory of history that focuses on the influence of significant individuals on events, he also believes that true greatness in a Jewish leader means a willingness to see his or her work in the context of the story of the Jewish people and to acknowledge the role of Providence in that narrative.
