Biography

Chaim Navon was born in Ramat Gan and grew up in Elkana. From 1992 to 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 led 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[11] community.

Navon has edited and translated books by Aharon Lichtenstein[12] and Joseph B. Soloveitchik.

Navon hosts the podcast "One Might Think" (Efshar Lakhshov), which deals with religion, conservatism and public policy. His guests on the podcast have included Israeli Supreme Court justice Noam Sohlberg and journalist Sivan Rahav-Meir.

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.[6] He describes Haredi 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 Haredi success into a new communal structure, which will no longer take the form of a closed religious order."[13] Navon is critical of the phenomenon of "political correctness" and seeks an alternative based on Jewish values.[14] He laments the loss of desire to mirror the religious behavior of one's grandparents, attributing it to an absence of religious self–confidence. He critiques both liberals trying to change religious practice and reactionaries seeking greater stringency.[15]
