Love of God is one of the key terms of Jewish Orthodox Tradition. Besides the Rabbis and Halakhic experts, it also has been a subject of theoretical reflexion by Jewish philosophers.
The present article compares philosophical approaches to this subject of two great thinkers, Maimonides and Joseph D. Soloveitchik, highlighting their differences and similarities.
For both of them, a radical intellectualization of the problem is most typical, on the other hand, they differ in their respective attitudes to the initial human existential situation.
