Soloveitchik. After graduating as valedictorian of Yeshiva College, Professor Shatz was ordained at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary and earned his Ph.D. with distinction in general philosophy from Columbia University. He has edited, co-edited, or authored 16 books and over 90 articles and reviews on general and Jewish philosophy. His work in general philosophy focuses on the theory of knowledge, free will, ethics, and the philosophy of religion, while his work in Jewish philosophy focuses on Jewish ethics, Maimonides, Judaism and science, and twentieth century rabbinic figures. Chaim Isaac Waxman (born February 26, 1941) is an American sociologist. Waxman received his B.A. in sociology from Yeshiva University. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from The New School for Social Research. He was a Senior Fellow at the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute in Jerusalem until March 1, 2009. He is a Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Jewish Studies at Rutgers University. Nathan J. Diament is the Executive Director for the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center, where he develops and coordinates public policy research and initiatives on behalf of the traditional Jewish community. Nathan has testified before congressional committees and works closely with members of both political parties to craft legislation addressing religious liberty issues, education reform, family friendly social policies and life issues. In 2009, Nathan was appointed by President Obama to serve as one of 25 members of the President's Faith Advisory Council. In 2019, the Department of Homeland Security appointed him to its new, 11-person Subcommittee for the Prevention of Targeted Violence Against Faith-Based Communities. He is a co-editor of Tikkun Olam: Social Responsibility in Jewish Thought and Law and the author of articles and essays on issues including religion and state, constitutional law, social policy and international affairs. He is an honors graduate of Yeshiva University and the Harvard Law School. The notion that Jews not only have a message for their surrounding cultures but are obliged to convey it to their host societies and the world at large is indeed echoed by several distinguished figures of the past two centuries who advocated the integration of Judaism and culture. Jason Aronson, Inc. Publishers, founded by its namesake Dr. Jason Aronson (an American psychologist), was acquired by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. in December 2003, and since then it has operated as an imprint. Prior to 2005, Jason Aronson also released new books in the field of Jewish studies. These included titles covering Jewish life, history, theology, genealogy, folklore, holidays, and Hasidic thought. Though they no longer carry the Jason Aronson name, new books of Jewish interest are still published by The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group today under their other imprints, including Rowman & Littlefield and Lexington Books.
