A 1,000-page academic biography of Karelitz by Benny Brown was published by Magnes Press in 2011. The contents of this academic biography were subsequently debated by Brown and Joshua Envel in the journal "Yeshurun", Vol. 30. In the following edition of "Yeshurun", Vol. 31, Envel presented his own hypothesis how to systematically conceptualize the methodology of Karelitz. Envel's approach was then the subject of correspondence with several readers in "Yeshurun", Vol. 32. More recently, a chapter from Brown's book was translated and published in "Ḥakirah", Vol. 24.
