Review of Rosh Hashanah Readings: Inspiration, Information And Contemplation (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book particularly when you are preparing for the High Holy days but can be read at any time.It is full of readings from a wide variety of sources and includes poetry.Some readings are thought provoking others are informative and yet others are moving.There is something for everyone.I strongly recommend this book and its companion "Yom Kippur Readings".Both are excellent resources.

Review of There Shall Be No Needy: Pursuing Social Justice Through Jewish Law & Tradition (Hardcover)

This book is a smart, serious look at traditions of social justice in Judaism and what they can teach us about living an ethical life today. I liked it because it's not just for religious scholars and not just for activists - it's for anyone interested in understanding Jewish ways of thinking about our responsibility to our communities. If you have ever been unsure about whether/how Judaism is relevant to the challenges we face in today's global society, this book might have some answers for you.
