The Audacity to Question: Honest conversations about Judaism

By Jack Engel

What if the child who doesn't know how to ask is actually the bravest one at the table? In the Passover Haggadah, the Tam - the "simple" child - is often overlooked. But Rabbi Jack Engel sees something different: a soul courageous enough to sit with uncertainty, to wonder without demanding easy answers.

Drawing from decades of unblinked wisdom pastoral experience, and a lifetime of honest questioning, Rabbi Engel offers candid reflections on what it means to be Jewish in a world that often challenges and changes. These essays explore faith and doubt, tradition and change. - and do so openly, but as partners in an ongoing conversation with the Divine.

This is not a book of answers. It is a book that honors the questions - and the questioners who dare to ask them.
