Radical Then, Radical Now: On Being Jewish

By Jonathan Sacks

Book Overview

The Jewish People in its very being constitutes a living protest against a world of hatred, violence and war. Radical Then, Radical Now is a popwerful testimony to the amazing resilience of the Jeqwish people who have, through their endurance of four thousand years of persecution and exile, earned a unique place in history. Without land or power, they created an identity for themaselves throguh their shared dreams of freedom, justice, dignity and human rights.

yet far more than Jewish history is contained withoin the pages of this book. Jonathan Sacks reminds us all of the l;egacy of those dreams and of our responsibility to our fellow man. he challenegs us to build a better woprld.

'Of all the questions of life, the two most penetrating are ' Who Am ? Who Are We? Rabbi Sacks answers beautifully. On matters of faith he is one of my favourite writers'

I don't know a better Primer on Jewish Thought

In my opinion this is Jonathon Sack's Magnum Opus. In this book he clearly defines what it means to be a Jew and what makes Jews different. An absolute must for anyone who is looking to get into Judaism or would like to tickle their brain with some fundementals in Jewish thought and theology. A Truly Incredible Book.
