Theology

The response to the question of “why be Jewish” has got to be powerful, internal, and motivational. It must get to the core of the Jew who is asking; and it has to be thought out, sensible, relatable, and well presented. "The Case For Judaism" is just that. Drawing on master teachers of our time, Rabbi Eliyahu Yaakov – an orator of note himself – flows from one foundational Jewish tenet to the next, providing fresh and convincing basis for the Jewish belief system. By examining and elucidating key core issues, such as how we can know there is a God, how we can posit that God gave the Torah, and why we believe the Oral Tradition to be legitimate and relevant, "The Case For Judaism" constructs a working model of what Judaism is and why we ought to take another look at it in a real way.

This book addresses the grand question of “Why Judaism?”
Its mission is to present a brief outline, explanation, and elucidation of the key core issues.

Topics covered include:

-How can we know that there is a God?
-How can we intelligently posit that God gave the Torah?
-Why believe the Oral Tradition to be legitimate and relevant?
-How is Judaism to be brought to life in modern society?
-Why consider the possibility of a realm beyond the physical?
-Why are the Jews so hated?
-Isn’t it enough to be a good and moral person?
-Is there more than one way to “do” Judaism?

Description #1 by eBay - barnesandnobleinc:

This hugely controversial work demonstrates convincingly how the world's three major monotheistic religions-Christianity, Judaism, and Islam-have attempted to suppress knowledge, science, pleasure, and desire, condemning nonbelievers often to death. Not since Nietzsche has a work so groundbreaking and explosive questioned the role of the world's three major monotheistic religions. If Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, Onfray insists that not only is God still very much alive but also increasingly controlled by fundamentalists who pose a danger to the nature of human morality. Documenting the ravages of religious intolerance over the centuries, the author makes a strong case against the three religions for their obsession with purity and their contempt for reason and intelligence, individual freedom, desire, and the human body, as well as their disdain for women, sexuality, and pleasure. In their place, all three demand faith and belief, obedience and submission, extolling the "next life" to the

Theology

Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the most revered religious leaders of the 20th century, and God in Search of Man and its companion volume, Man Is Not Alone, two of his most important books, are classics of modern Jewish theology. God in Search of Man combines scholarship with lucidity, reverence, and compassion as Dr. Heschel discusses not man's search for God but God's for man--the notion of a Chosen People, an idea which, he writes, "signifies not a quality inherent in the people but a relationship between the people and God." It is an extraordinary description of the nature of Biblical thought, and how that thought becomes faith.

Theology

Translated by Marion Wiesel

A profoundly and unexpectedly intimate, deeply affecting summing up of his life so far, from one of the most cherished moral voices of our time.

Eighty-two years old, facing emergency heart surgery and his own mortality, Elie Wiesel reflects back on his life. Emotions, images, faces and questions flash through his mind. His family before and during the unspeakable Event. The gifts of marriage and children and grandchildren that followed. In his writing, in his teaching, in his public life, has he done enough for memory and the survivors? His ongoing questioning of God—where has it led? Is there hope for mankind? The world’s tireless ambassador of tolerance and justice has given us this luminous account of hope and despair, an exploration of the love, regrets and abiding faith of a remarkable man.
