Publisher's Synopsis
Contemporary Judaism is facing unprecedented challenges. Today's Jews have the opportunity--and the obligation--to reclaim a Jewish vocabulary of sanctity, activism, and the desire to stand apart from today's world.
Repairing Our People is a cry from the heart by one of American Judaism's most prolific voices. His message: the role of religion is to challenge us as individuals and to challenge society. Rabbi Jeffrey Salkin muses about contemporary Jewish identity, Judaism, Israel, spirituality, and popular culture. As if having a cup of coffee with an old friend, Rabbi Salkin invites readers to think deeply about the contemporary world, showing that Judaism has a stake in our world's political, religious, and cultural battles.
