What reading level is The Function of Jewish Learning in America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What today creeps as a truism through the sluggish brain of the Philistine, flashed but yesterday as a paradox through the creative mind of the scholar. The scholar who from the window of his study flirts with the mob on the street is not a champion of scholarship but a traitor to scholarship, for he lowers scholarship which is the mistress of life into a handmaid of life. And to be sure, in this country, with its unmistakable drift towards the tangible and material things of life, we need more... than anywhere else the corrective and restraining influence of an idealistic and theoretic scholarship. To repeat the favorite plea of Professor Schechter, a community so essentially practical as ours stands in dire need of a few men who have the courage to be unpractical. A certain aloofness in scholar- ship is not only permissible, but indispensable, if scholarship is not to degenerate into fakirdom. But with all this, when the purely scholarly task of blazing new paths is accomplished, it is the right, nay it is the duty of the scholar to throw them open to the public.
