Academic Studies Press End of Days Ethics, Tradition, and Power in
Book SynopsisEnd of Days is both a meditation on Jewish morality in the age of Israeli Jewish power, and a cri du coeur by an Orthodox Israeli Jew, a former combat officer in the IDF, for Israelis to look into the Jewish religious ethical tradition for an alternative to the secular and religious Zionism that sanctifies power, statehood, and sovereignty. Appealing to a wealth of Jewish sources from the Bible to the present, including medieval Jewish ethical literature, rabbinic sources, Jewish law, and contemporary Israeli thought, the book presents an argument against Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians and the suppression of their rights from the perspective of a modern Israeli religious Jew.Trade Review“Drawing on an impressive range of sources—the Talmud, the writings of Ashkenazi and Sephardic medieval Jewish pietists, the Chofetz Chaim’s forgotten guide for Jewish soldiers, the Yiddish poetry of Jacob Glatstein—Manekin traces in compelling detail the traditional Jewish ethical disposition that recoils from pride, abhors violence, and views power with suspicion. He argues that this traditional Jewish ethics requires a radically different approach to the reality of Jewish political power instantiated by the Israeli state than the dominant view in Israel allows. By the book’s end, he leaves the reader with little doubt that not only is there no need to compromise one’s commitment to Jewish tradition in order to oppose Israel’s occupation, but that a commitment to traditional Jewish ethics requires active opposition to the occupation. Powerful yet unconventional, [this book] is a hybrid of memoir, mussar [morality], family history, halakhic argumentation, and social criticism. It is a manifesto for a new religiously committed Jewish left that is taking shape.”— Joshua Leifer, Tel Aviv Review of Books (on the Hebrew edition)Table of ContentsPreface, by Shaul MagidIntroductionAcknowledgments Remembering Patience Submission Devotion Contentment Listening Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC To Heal a Fractured World The Ethics of Responsibility
Trade ReviewJonathan Sacks is one of the most eminent religious scholars of our time and his book should interest Jews and non-Jews alike. * Booklist *There is much of great wisdom here, for readers of all faiths and none.' Bishop of Thetford 'A book for our time. Sacks writes with a quiet passion that is accessible to religionist and secularist alike... a desperately needed transfusion of hope. * Catholic Herald *Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks mixes stories, philosophy and theology to show Judaism's power to transform individuals and society through love and ethics. Much of what he says is equally applicable to Islam. -- Ziauddin Sardar * Independent, Books of the Year *The Chief Rabbi's books are always worth reading and this is no exception. He writes with characteristic generosity, wisdom and passion....His reading of the Hebrew Bible is immensely subtle...Throughout he makes ethics live through many, often deeply moving stories...Reading this will deepen your understanding of the OT or of Judaism. -- Nick Spencer * Christianity *[A] marvelous gift to the Jewish community and to people of all faiths and nations. I know of no contemporary author...whose ideology is so heavily invested in "social justice," who has presented the grandeur and breadth of Jewish social ideals in such a unique and absolutely elegant fashion....It should be read by every rabbi, synagogue president and Federation leader, as well as by clergy and political leaders everywhere...his inspiring contribution, and what makes this volume so extraordinary and so valuable, lies precisely in his remarkable presentation and its is applicability to the human condition...Rabbi Sacks has produced a text which should not only be read but which should be studied in every Jewish and non-Jewish education program in the English speaking world. -- Stanley M Wagner * Conservative Judaism *Required reading...As always Sack's work is eminently readable. Analytical but not to the point of paralysis, Sacks holds the reader with an easy style and gripping illustrations. By the time one is midway through this excellent book you really have an understanding of where he is going in defining responsibility...A rich joy to read and a highly recommended book. -- David Gifford * Baptist Times *...Sacks illuminates an aspirational set of principles that could be a guide to all mankind. -- Jane Clements * Common Ground *...powerful, timely and full of profound insights. -- Ziauddin Sardar * NCJW Journal *There is a fair amount about ethics of responsibility in current debate among Christian moral theologians. That, along with the reputation of Jonathan Sacks would perhaps suffice to recommend this volume to many in various branches of Christianity. Picking it up and reading it, moreover, only serves to strengthen the recommendation. Sack's approach to reflection upon these subjects will, I think, prove to be quite novel and refreshing to most Christians...Of particular use to our wider society may be his observation that what makes a culture invulnerable is the compassion it shows to the vulnerable. I doubt very much that I have put this book down for the last time. -- Bernard Hoose * The Furrow *Table of Contents1. The Call to Responsibility; 2. A Conversation with Karl Marx; 3. The Theology of Responsibility; 4. Redeeming Evil; 5. The Responsible Life; 6. Transforming Suffering; 7. The Holy and the Good; 8. In Dreams Begin Responsibilities.
