Overview

Judaism: Ideas, People, and Rituals is a collection of Jewish gems - each essay sparkles with knowledge and originality. Whether Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins is showing the Jewishness in Thoreau's thinking, or tackling knotty questions about divine revelation, he approaches his subject with authority, clarity and utter honesty. He has culled together sermons and portraits of figures and movement to display and share his wisdom with us, his readers and students. The topics are divided into three areas of Jewish vision, relationship, and practice. Rabbi Elkins treats us to some wonderful insights about all three areas. He explores how Judaism offers us a path to meaning, purpose, belonging and blessing. He mines Jewish tradition, introduces influential teachers, and shares his own unique and powerful rabbinic voice. There are wide ranging subjects, from human sexuality in Judaism, to hearing the sound of the Shofar. This work displays the knowledge, breadth, and insights of Rabbi Elkins's learning that he shares so clearly and brilliantly. This book opens up new worlds to explore. We are all the beneficiaries of his teachings and knowledge!
