Judaism's Promise, Meeting The Challenge Of Modernity follows
Seymour W. Itzkoff's well-received three-book series, Who Are the
Jews? Judaism's Promise, confronts the many revolutions that have
reshaped Judaism over the centuries allowing it and its people a
path of leadership into the modern world. It takes the writings of
the Torah, Holy Scriptures, and Talmud seriously as exemplars of
the human search for civilizational and moral intellectuality. The
book's basic concern is with the withering of Judaism as a force in
contemporary Western civilization. Sadly millions of Jews have left
the faith. Others venture forth only hesitantly into a synagogue,
now a bastion of fossilized ritual and conspicuous consumption.
These millions needed more from the orthodoxy, and this book
attempts to show them the way back by giving renewed life to the
heritages of Judaism, and, consequently, to its meaning for the
modern world. Judaism's Promise argues for a return to the
synagogue's originating Hellenistic commitment "to come together"
in intellectual and moral study. As Rabbi Mordecai Kaplan argued,
Judaism must once more become in the 20-21st century the
civilization that it once represented to the wider world, and not a
fossilized ceremonialism.
