Asaf Yedidya is senior lecturer in Jewish history at Ariel University and Efrata College.

Ze’ev Jawitz belongs to the pantheon of Jewish historians of the last century and has deserved an academic biography worthy of his stature. But as his approach to the organic development of Hebrew culture was too Orthodox for the non-religious; and the Orthodox considered his educational positions too innovative, it had to wait for a scholar working at the interstices of modern Judaism’s developments, who also had cosmopolitan interests. Asaf Yedidya, having established an international reputation in the fields of Orthodoxy and Wissenschaft and religious Zionism, is such a scholar. He has produced the long-awaited archive-based, comprehensive study, which follows Jawitz’s ideology-centered life-serving as a crucible for Orthodox-Zionist intellectual currents of his day.
