Item Description

Judaism Inside Out eloquently evokes the power of the spirituality of Israel. Far more than a nation-state, Israel is a way of human living. At a time when human violence threatens life itself, Jews all over the world are called to reclaim the spiritual purposes of their lives.

Just as the sages of Israel created rabbinical Judaism following the destruction of the Second Temple, Judaism Inside Out urges contemporary Jews to be innovative, in thought and practice, in the wake of the Holocaust and the reestablishment of independent Jewish sovereignty.

This is an important book for Jews and non-Jews alike, a challenge for religious pluralists of all traditions to seize the opportunity to redefine contemporary political discourse. Exposing the bigotry of religious and national fundamentalism, Judaism Inside Out reclaims for religion a politics based on the personal quest for self respect and mutual acceptance.

Joshua Chasan has served as spiritual leader of Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington, Vermont since 1991. He received his rabbinic ordination from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America (1987) and a doctorate in American history from The University of Pittsburgh (1974).
