Being Jewish Today gives an account of both the journey of a particular
British Jew and the journey of millions of women and men through
today's perplexing and difficult world. With honesty and integrity
Rabbi Tony Bayfield breaks new ground in exploring the meaning of
Jewish identity and its relationship to Jewish tradition and belief. He
does so from the perspective of a person fully integrated into the
modern Western world. The rigorous questions he asks of his Jewishness,
Judaism and the Jewish God are therefore substantially the same as
those asked by individuals of all faiths and none.
Beginning with an account of the journey of Jewish people and thought
from ancient times to the present day, Bayfield goes on to consider
Jewish identity, Israel as land and the scourge of anti-Semitism. He
then turns to the twin concerns of Torah: Halakhah – practice, and
Aggadah – ethics, along with the matter of belief in a world faced with
global extinction. Finally, in addressing the manifest injustice of
life, Rabbi Bayfield confronts the widely evaded questions of universal
suffering and divine inaction.
Drawing on key religious and secular thinkers who contribute to the
force of his argument, Bayfield's masterful, challenging and urgent
book will appeal to all Jews, whether religious or cultural, and to
anyone curious about the nature of Judaism and religion today.
