Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
The Challenge of Secularism
From the Biography Series

Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch lived when everyone believed that Orthodox Judaism was dying and Reform was the wave of the future. Almost single-handedly, he proved them wrong. With the power of his leadership and writing, he turned the tables on the Reform movement, showing Western European Jewry that it was indeed possible to be both a worldly intellectual and a pious Jew.
