Description
Book SynopsisDescribes why Jews must live - but especially think - in a way that is distinctly Jewish. This book aims to make possible a religious response to the Holocaust.
Trade Review"This book is exceedingly provocative and insightful in achieving an understanding 'not so much to explain the evil of what happened as to understand what must happen next.' Detailed chapter references; extensive bibliography. Highly recommended."
