What do the great Jewish writings of the last 3,500 years tell us about the ethical questions everyone must face? In Jewish Wisdom, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, the author of the highly acclaimed Jewish Literacy, weaves together a tapestry of stories from the Bible and the Talmud, with insights from Maimonides, Rashi, Einstein, Elie Wiesel and many other great Jewish thinkers.
Telushkin provides his own compelling commentary, revealing how these texts continue to instruct and challenge Jews and all people concerned with leading ethical lives today. Within Jewish Wisdom the reader will learn about Jewish perspectives on sex, romance, and marriage, what kind of belief in God a Jew can have after the Holocaust, how to use language ethically, the conflicting views of the Bible and Talmud on the death penalty, and much, much more. Jewish Wisdom is a book that not only has the capacity to transform how you view the world, but one that might change how you choose to live your life. A widely known spiritual leader and scholar, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin is the author of eleven influential Jewish books, including A Code of Jewish Ethics; Words That Hurt, Words That Heal; Biblical Literacy and four novels. He lives in New York City and lectures throughout the United States. "No single book can summarize the collective statement of the Jewish people, but Rabbi Teluskin's anthology goes a long way toward collecting the wisest thoughts of a civilization that transcends thousands of years." -Alan M. Dershowitz, Harvard University
