Reviews
Rabbi Angel's book on Jewish thought and contemporary life is based on what he has learned and experienced during 30 years as an orthodox rabbi at the Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in New York City. His aim is to help readers gain an insight into the rabbinical way of life. Rabbi Angel insists that his position entails not just working for the people of his congregation but for the Jewish people as a whole. His work includes raising funds for many Jewish causes, marriage counseling, and teaching Torah values. He discusses the importance of instructing congregants on various aspects of Jewish law, practical knowledge needed to deal with marriage, divorce, ritual issues, congregational policy, treatment of the terminally ill, and keeping kosher. His duties include repudiating anti-Jewish stereotypes that have been passed down from generation to generation and nourishing a spirit of unity and understanding within the Jewish community, which, today, is growing diverse and segmented. Readers seeking to know more about Jewish life in today's society will find the book enlightening. George Cohen

An Orthodox rabbi for over 30 years at Congregation Shearith Israel, the historic Sephardic synagogue in New York City, Angel (Voices in Exile: A Study in Sephardic Intellectual History, A Sephardic Passover Haggadah) reflects here on the role of the rabbi in the spiritual, ethical, social, even political life of his congregation. He sees his role as being infinitely patient in helping the congregation spiritually prepare for the coming of the Messiah, working diligently for the Jewish people as a whole, studying and teaching the Torah, standing up for Torah values and promoting the well-being of Jewish families, raising funds for the betterment of Jews and Judaism, and reflecting a true attitude of piety and compassion. While he is firm in his Orthodox beliefs he is against intermarriage, homosexuality, and a broader role for women in the synagogue, for example he has done much within the Jewish community to foster greater understanding among Jews of other denominations. A welcome, well-composed look into the life and mind of an Orthodox rabbi; recommended for Judaica collections. Marcia Welsh, formerly with the Guilford Free Lib., CT

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
