A challenge to each of us to take personal responsibility for
repairing the world. "We are taught that every one of us is created
in the divine image. All of us can be holy through imitating
God…. So, you don’t have to look around or look away. You
don’t have to wait for someone to come and do what you were put
on this earth to do in the first place. Judaism empowers you, as
one of God’s anointed ones, to do more than you ever dreamed
possible." —from Chapter 1 The coming of the messiah is
anticipated by millions of people of many faiths as the ultimate
salve for our spiritual lives and as a way to finally make the
world a better place. There Is No Messiah…and You’re It
examines the history of messianic hope and anticipation, its
evolution in Judaism and Jewish history, and other interpretations
of “messiah” that shed new light on what it means to usher in
the “kingdom of God.” This fascinating book is our call to see
ourselves as the fulfillment of, not the anticipators of, messianic
change. Drawing from the Bible, the Talmud, rabbinic sources, and
modern-day scholars, Rabbi Robert Levine provides us with an
accessible, fascinating understanding of messianic vision, as well
as false messiahs throughout Jewish history. He challenges the
powerful idea of messiah that has survived in the heart, soul, and
ethos of the Jewish people, and reveals the immediacy of the
messianic presence in our day—in our own lives. Compelling and
controversial, There Is No Messiah…and You’re It inspires us to
embody the noblest values of Jewish tradition—prayer, study,
mitzvoth, and tzedakah—and embrace our own messianic potential to
heal the world.
