How can Jewish values inform our work to create a just world and
help us work together for the good of all communities?
"Somehow, most Jews have decided that being a 'good Jew' means
adhering to rituals such as Shabbat, kashrut, and prayer. But the
word halakhah, generally translated as 'Jewish law, ' literally
means the way to walk. Rather than a limited set of ritual laws,
halakhah represents an all-encompassing way of life." from Chapter
1
