520    Modern Orthodox Judaism offers an extensive selection of 
       primary texts documenting the Orthodox encounter with 
       American Judaism that led to the emergence of the Modern 
       Orthodox movement. Many texts in this volume are drawn 
       from episodes of conflict that helped form Modern Orthodox
       Judaism. These include the traditionalists' response to 
       the early expressions of Reform Judaism, as well as 
       incidents that helped define the widening differences 
       between Orthodox and Conservative Judaism in the early 
       twentieth century. Other texts explore the internal 
       struggles to maintain order and balance once Orthodox 
       Judaism had separated itself from other religious 
       movements. Zev Eleff combines published documents with 
       seldom-seen archival sources in tracing Modern Orthodoxy 
       as it developed into a structured movement, established 
       its own institutions, and encountered critical events and 
       issues--some that helped shape the movement and others 
       that caused tension within it. A general introduction 
       explains the rise of the movement and puts the texts in 
       historical context. Brief introductions to each section 
       guide readers through the documents of this new, dynamic 
       Jewish expression.
