1 post
The Soul of Jewish Social Justice offers a novel intellectual and spiritual approach for how Jewish wisdom must be relevant and transformational in its application to the most pressing moral problems of our time. The book explores how spirituality, ritual, narratives, holidays, and tradition can enhance ones commitment to creating a more just society. Readers will discover how the Jewish social justice ethos can help address issues of education reform, ethical consumption, the future of Israel, immigration, prison reform, violence, and business ethics.

These are the values that guide my halachic reasoning: Judaism is neither a science nor an art; it is neither logical nor perfectly beautiful. Judaism is messy, complicated, and incomplete; it provides more questions than answers; it is more of a yearning than a finding. Halacha is a floor and not a ceiling. Ironically, Jewish law helps me to fly
