What do the great Jewish writings of the last 3,500 years reveal about vital questions in our lives? Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has dedicated his life to uncovering answers within Judaism's teachings. In this work, he weaves together stories from the Bible and Talmud, along with insights from Jewish commentators and writers such as Maimonides, Rashi, Hillel, Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Elie Wiesel. This extraordinary compilation is enriched by Telushkin's commentary, which illustrates how these texts continue to instruct and challenge Jews and others striving for ethical living today. He addresses fundamental issues of modern life, including how to live with honesty and integrity in a dishonest world, care for the sick and dying, and teach children respect for themselves and others. He also confronts significant tragedies like antisemitism and the Holocaust, exploring what God desires from humanity. The book's ninety chapters delve into Jewish perspectives on sex, romance, marriage, belief in God post-Holocaust, ethical language use, and the Bible's and Talmud's conflicting views on the death penalty, among other topics. This volume not only retells stories but also reveals the essence of classic religious and secular literature, offering transformative insights that may change how you view the world and how you choose to live your life.
