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.
