Reviews
Sacks, Chief Rabbi of Britain, writes eloquently about Judaism in a highly personal essay that was originally presented as a wedding gift to his children. His words speak directly to all Jews about what it means to be Jewish, why it is important to maintain a Jewish identity, and the value of the Jewish way of life. Raising themes such as the relationship between God and man, the idea of covenantal morality, and the problem of ambivalence and assimilation, Sacks formulates his thesis: that over the millennia, Jews have come to define themselves by their disasters, expulsions, persecutions, and holocausts, not their survival and strength. In a clear, steady style that can also soar, Sacks explains why this disaster-driven thinking denies the beauty and strength of Judaism. Important ideas explained in a highly accessible manner.
