Beskrivelse
Can the teachings of Judaism provide a sacred framework for repairing the world? In this groundbreaking volume, leading rabbis, intellectuals, and activists explore the relationship between Judaism and social justice, drawing on ancient and modern sources of wisdom. The contributors argue that American Jewry must move beyond "mitzvah days" and other occasional service programs, and dedicate itself to systemic change in the United States, Israel, and throughout the world. These provocative essays concentrate on specific justice issues such as eradicating war, global warming, health care, gay rights and domestic violence, offering practical ways to transform theory into practice, and ideas into advocacy.Rich and passionate, these expressions will inspire you to consider your obligations as a Jew, as an American and as a global citizen, while challenging you to take thoughtful and effective action in the world.Contributors: Martha Ackelsberg, PhD * Rabbi Rebecca Alpert, PhD * Diane Balser, PhD * Jeremy Benstein, PhD * Rabbi Phyllis Berman * Ellen Bernstein * Marla Brettschneider, PhD * Rabbi Sharon Brous * Aryeh Cohen, PhD * Stephen P.
