First sentence: We begin our inquiry into the meanings and modalities of modern Jewish practice with a footnote: half-a-dozen sentences of an eighteenth-century text that capture, with remarkable concision and directness, the issues which then and since have linked the several theories of modernity and the varieties of Jewish practice in a tense and often passionate encounter.
