Pursuing Social Justice Through Jewish Law and Tradition
Hardback
Publication Date: 26/08/2009
What do Jewish texts and traditions have to say to our contemporary society in crisis? This fascinating treatise confronts the most pressing issues of twenty-first-century America-including health care, criminal justice, labour, and the environment-by bringing classical Jewish sources into striking dialogue with contemporary policy debates and the real-life stories of working people. The results are often unexpected. Written by one of the leading young voices in the arena of social justice, it offers a relevant and urgent guide to applying Judaism to contemporary life, while making a powerful argument for Jewish participation in the worlds public square. This invigorating look at religion and public policy will appeal to Jews seeking to understand contemporary issues through a Jewish lens; to social change agents asking how to connect their work and ideals with their Jewish heritage; and to anyone interested in the vital question of what religion can and should mean in the world today.
