Chaim Navon (Hebrew: ืืืื ื ืืื ; born June 25, 1973) is an Israeli rabbi, philosopher, writer, and publicist.
Biography
Chaim Navon was born in Ramat Gan and grew up in Elkana. From 1992-2004, Navon studied at Yeshivat Har Etzion.[1]He received his Semicha (rabbinic ordination) from Rabbi Aharon Lichtenstein and the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. In 2004, he graduated from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem with a degree in Jewish philosophy. Navon lives in Modi'in,[2]where he leads a local congregation.[3]
Pedagogic, rabbinic and media career
Navon teaches Jewish philosophy, bible, Talmud, and Halakha (Jewish law) in at Yeshivat Har Etzion[1], Midreshet Lindenbaum,[4] the Midrasha of Bar Ilan University[5] and the Nishmat Center for Advanced Torah Study for Women.[6][7]
Navon is a member of Tzohar, an organization that seeks to bridge the gaps between religious and secular Jews in Israel.[8]
Navon is a frequent lecturer[9] and writes a weekly column for Makor Rishon[10], which is identified with Israel's Religious Zionist (Modern Orthodox[11]) community.
Navon has edited and translated books by Aharon Lichtenstein[12] and Joseph B. Soloveitchik.
Navon hosts the podcast "One Might Think" (Efshar La'Chshov), which deals with religion, conservatism and public policy. Among the guests in the podcast were Israeli supreme court justice Noam Sohlberg, the journalist Sivan Rahav-Meir and Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi.
Views and opinions
Navon believes that religious Zionism no longer has a single, unifying center of gravity and is facing dramatic processes of ideological change.[13]He describes Charedi society as a "victim of its own success. The social and ideological structure that unprecedentedly magnified a small group of several hundred families and created a dizzying success story can no longer maintain tens of thousands of families. The question is how to translate Charedi success into a new communal structure, which will no longer take the form of a closed religious order."[14]Navon is critical of the phenomenon of "political correctness" and seeks an alternative based on Jewish values.[15]He laments the loss of desire to mirror the religious behavior of oneโs grandparents, attributing it to an absence of religious selfโconfidence. He critiques both liberals trying to change religious practice and conservatives seeking greater stringency.[16]
