- Abstract
The article focuses on views of Gershom Scholem and Lucy S. Dawidowicz on Nathan Birnbaum. It states that Lucy S. Dawidowicz published a Hebrew article in the Israeli cultural journal "Amot" that highlighted relationship of Jewish tradition and values to modern Jewish politics, and mentions that Dawidowicz wrote to Scholem to ask him to clarify a point he had made in his 1963 Hebrew essay in Amot. It notes nexus between the genres of the letter and of the highbrow cultural journal.
