Synopsis
Does it mean nothing at all that we are spiritual beings? What does one of the world’s oldest religions have to say? Convinced that Judaism possesses a core of wisdom that appeals to everyone, Shmuley Boteach ferociously argues against Jews seeking piety in abstractions, in rationalizing injustice, in explaining the holocaust away as a punishment for assimilation. Famous for his fearlessness in bringing the lessons of Judaism to modern controversies, Boteach approaches these issues with a unique candor that brings ancient wisdom to urgent contemporary ethical dilemmas. He pleads for recognition that Judaism is not about death and suffering, but is about seeking optimism and spirituality. In a modern world riddled with angst, this enlightening and provocative book poses a new outlook on Judaism and spiritual life today.
