"Living a Jewish Life" describes Judaism as not just a
contemplative or abstract system of thought but as a blueprint for
living fully and honorably. This new edition builds on the classic
guide, which has been a favorite among Jewish educators and
students for years. Enriched with additional resources, including
online resources, this updated guide also references recent changes
in the modern Jewish community, and has served as a resource and
guide for non-Jews as well as Jews.
Addressing the choices posed by the modern world, "Living a
Jewish Life" explains the traditions and beliefs of Judaism in the
context of real life. It explores the spectrum of liberal Jewish
thought, from Conservative to Reconstructionist to Reform, as well
as unaffiliated, new age, and secular. Celebrating the diversity of
Jewish beliefs, this guide provides information in ways that
readers can choose how to incorporate Judaism into their lives.
Readers will learn how to choose the right synagogue, and
discover the meaning and significance of lighting Sabbath candles.
"Shabbat," "Torah," "kosher," "mitzvah" and other key words are all
defined in all of their complex and potent meanings.
On the most basic level, this book explains the essential
Jewish vocabulary, but more importantly, "LIVING A JEWISH LIFE" is
a sensitive and comprehensive introduction that reveals the
timeless nature of Jewish tradition, rich with history and relevant
in the modern world.
