Overview

In this, his third book on modern ethics, Elliot Dorff focuses on personal ethics, Judaism's distinctive way of understanding human nature, our role in life, and what we should strive to be, both as individuals and as members of a community. Dorff presents dilemmas and challenges confronting the individual in relation to others. He addresses specific moral issues that affect our personal lives: privacy, particularly at work and as it is affected by the Internet and other modern technologies; sex in and outside of marriage; family matters, such as adoption, surrogate motherhood, stepfamilies, divorce, parenting, and family violence; homosexuality; justice, mercy, and forgiveness; and charitable acts and social action.
