Does it mean nothing at all that we are spiritual beings? What does one of the world's oldest religions have to say? After the astonishing success of his latest book, Kosher Sex, Shmuley Boteach now tackles these important issues in another freshly argued, provocative book that will stir debate. Convinced that Judaism possesses a core of wisdom that appeals to everyone, Boteach ferociously argues against Jews seeking piety in abstractions, in rationalising injustice, in explaining the holocaust away as a punishment for assimilation. He pleads for recognition that Judaism is not about death or suffering, but is about seeking optimism and spirituality, as is life. In a modern world riddled with angst, this book will have an astonishing impact on the way our relationship to society should be understood.

Quotes

  • Elena Semenovahas quoted7 years ago
    When man still only loved his blood relatives and his kinsmen, the Torah given at Mount Sinai struck the first note of opposition. It commanded man to cherish the stranger, the orphan, and the widow and to protect their interests. Peace, it said, is superior to war, forgiveness the master of vengeance.
