Elias Sacks to Produce First English Translation of Hebrew Philosophical Classic Maggie Rosenau Wed, 02/05/2025 - 14:01

Elias Sacks has signed a contract with Yale University Press to produce the first English translation of The Guide of the Perplexed of the Time (Moreh Nevukei Ha-zeman), the unfinished Hebrew magnum opus of the Eastern European Jewish philosopher Nachman Krochmal (1785-1840). A businessperson and communal leader who taught himself German, French, Latin, Arabic, and Syriac, Krochmal is widely recognized as a key figure in Jewish encounters with historicism, biblical criticism, and German Idealism, and exercised considerable influence on the development of Jewish nationalism and the academic study of Judaism. Produced in collaboration with Lawrence Kaplan (McGill University), this translation will appear in the Yale Judaica Series, a joint initiative of the Program in Jewish Studies at Yale University and Yale University Press.
