Description

In times past, the average ish person was born in a shtetl, a small ish town,with a local kosher baker and fish market,with pious people in the study halls, and a Rabbi who knew both you (and your grandparents) by name. The spirit of the next holiday permeated the air. Life was rich. People were sincere. ish knowledge was simply absorbed from daily life. Tradition was cherished. In our own times, the shtetl walls have come down. In Western society, ish beliefs and customs are largely ignored - and sometimes scorned. These days, nothing is automatic. Individuals must make their own choices and ask themselves: Does Judaism make sense? Can a modern, thinking person identify with traditional Judaism? In this remarkable book, ish belief is explained clearly and logically, for both the beginner and scholar, using a wide variety of both ancient and modern sources. This fascinating book shows that there is a rational way of understanding traditional ish values.
