You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Shalom Carmy''' (born May 1, 1949) is an [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[rabbi]] teaching [[Jewish studies]] and [[philosophy]] at [[Yeshiva University]], where he is Chair of [[Bible]] and [[Jewish philosophy]] at [[Yeshiva College (Yeshiva University)|Yeshiva College]] and an affiliated scholar at [[Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law]]. He is also Editor Emeritus of ''[[Tradition (journal)|Tradition]]'', an Orthodox theological journal, and formerly wrote a regular column in ''[[First Things]]''.

A [[Brooklyn]] native, he is a prominent [[Modern Orthodox]] theologian, historian, and philosopher. He received his [[Bachelor of Arts|B.A.]] in 1969 and [[Master of Science|M.S.]] from Yeshiva University, and received his [[semicha|rabbinic ordination]] from its affiliated [[Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary]], studying under Rabbis [[Aharon Lichtenstein]] and [[Joseph Soloveitchik]]. He has edited some of R. Soloveitchik's work for publication.  Carmy has written many articles on [[Biblical theology]], Jewish thought, Orthodoxy in the 20th century and the role of [[liberal arts]] in a Torah education.  He edited "Modern Scholarship in the Study of Torah: Contributions and Limitations" (((ISBN|1-56821-450-2))), “Jewish Perspectives on the Experience of Suffering” as well as several other works. He writes a regular personal column in Tradition, and contributes regularly on Jewish and general subjects to [[First Things]] and other journals. In addition to his exegetical and analytic work, Carmy's theological contribution is distinguished by preoccupation with the way religious doctrine and practice express themselves in the life of the individual.

== Thought ==

One of Carmy's most consequential essays has attempted to develop what he has called "literary-theological approach" <ref>((cite journal |last1=Carmy |first1=Shalom |title=A Room with a View, but a Room of Our Own |journal=Tradition: A Journal of Orthodox Jewish Thought |date=1994 |volume=28 |issue=3 |pages=39–69 |jstor=23260963 |url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/23260963.))</ref> to modern biblical scholarship, including biblical archaeology and higher textual criticism. Carmy contemplates a system of biblical study and engagement by Orthodox individuals with aspects of biblical scholarship with the ability to digest, integrate, and build upon an authentic engagement with Jewish thought and modern academic approaches to biblical literature without falling into apologetics.<ref name=interview >((Cite web |last=Carmy |first=Shalom |title=IMITATE THE RAMBAN, NOT THE PROFESSORS |url=https://www.lookstein.org/professional-dev/bible/imitate-ramban-not-professors/ |access-date=11 March 2023 |website=The Lookstein Center|date=28 March 2000 ))</ref>

"[W]e assert the conviction that Bible is to be encountered as the word of God, rather than primarily as the object of academic investigation; we also refer to the authoritative presence of the interpretive tradition. The adjective literary comes to stress that understanding the word of God is not only a matter of apprehending propositions, but also of hearing them in their literary and historical context; secondarily, we are reminded that the language we use to articulate our insight is also an integral aspect of our study..."<ref>Carmy (1994), p. 39</ref>

First, Carmy suggests that the Orthodox perspective<ref>"It is neither possible nor desirable to approach Tanakh in a vacuum. As Professor Kugel argues, there is no such thing as 'the Bible as it was.' More precisely, the text of Tanakh was always incomplete in itself. Forever it confronts us, trailing clouds of tradition and exegesis. Of course, we immerse ourselves in parshanut not only because we can’t escape it. We see the encounter with the teaching of previous generations as something valuable in itself. We glory in the opportunity to sit around the same table where our masters and role models are arrayed, inviting us into their world, awaiting our questions." Carmy (1994), p. 39</ref> on biblical literature should be integrated into the study of bible by student from the Orthodox community in entering into engagement with the academy. This outlook serves to lay the groundwork for further speculation and informs the study by the whole academy. He warns that failure to engage is not an option.

"[I]f the university orientation becomes the paradigm and pattern for our study, then the quasi-critical and speculative subjects peripheral to the study of devar Ha-Shem-issues of authorship, dating, historical background and the like will inexorably work their way to the top of our syllabi. And if that is the case, then the marginality of Bible in the curriculum will necessarily be reinforced, as student and layman come to experience Tanakh not as the occasion for confrontation with God and with ourselves, but as a complex of preoccupations, a sideshow of "problems," a vermiform appendix in the body politic of Torah, useless in itself, worthy of attention only when it causes pain or becomes infected."<ref>Carmy (1994), p. 57</ref>

Carmy suggests that Orthodox Bible student should understand the modern methodologies of the academy, but should balance this with an a priori reverence for scripture and simultaneously voice a respectful dissension to academic methodology's conclusions when they are unchallenged simply because they originate from the academy<ref>Carmy (1994), pp. 57-63</ref> where necessary. Carmy suggests that conflicts between findings of the academy and traditional scholarship cannot be simply papered over, but that "so long as we believe that there is a solution, [challenging academic findings] need not affect the way we study Bible day by day."<ref>Carmy (1994), p. 64</ref> The second aspect of this approach Carmy presents as built off his interpretation of the mystic-philosophical approach of [[Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook]] towards potentially problematic academic interpretations of religious literature. He asserts that we must "build a palace of Torah"<ref>citing R. Kook, Iggerot haReiyah I #134; translated by Tzvi Feldman in Selected Letters (Ma'aleh Adumim, 1986), pp. 14.</ref> on top of the challenges. Where appropriate, the observant scholar should assume an ability to integrate enlightening aspects of modern scholarship into formulations of Jewish Theology (Carmy assumes the Tanakh to be the core prism through which any vision of Jewish Theology must pass<ref>Chapter 2, "The bible as a source for philosophical reflection", History of Jewish Philosophy. United Kingdom, Routledge, 1997.</ref>), but should refrain from hinging theology on any particular discovery.<ref>Carmy (1994), pp. 65</ref>

Early in his teaching career he devised an imaginary television series, ''Police Philosopher'', about a philosopher who gets involved in police cases. This is part a running theme in Carmy's teaching where he touches on popular film or literature as an explanatory device for a given topic. Carmy has said that "''Police Philosopher'' was born the day I spied an ad in a professional journal, seeking a professor of philosophy prepared to teach at a local precinct so that the cops could get college credit without having to be on campus. Wouldn't it be interesting if the professor got involved in police cases?"<ref name=interview />
