The Case for Judaism P/b

The response to the question of “why be Jewish” has got to be powerful, internal, and motivational. It must get to the core of the Jew who is asking; and it has to be thought out, sensible, relatable, and well presented. "The Case For Judaism" is just that. Drawing on master teachers of our time, Rabbi Eliyahu Yaakov – an orator of note himself – flows from one foundational Jewish tenet to the next, providing fresh and convincing basis for the Jewish belief system. By examining and elucidating key core issues, such as how we can know there is a God, how we can posit that God gave the Torah, and why we believe the Oral Tradition to be legitimate and relevant, "The Case For Judaism" constructs a working model of what Judaism is and why we ought to take another look at it in a real way. This book addresses the grand question of “Why Judaism?” Its mission is to present a brief outline, explanation, and elucidation of the key core issues. Topics covered include: -How can we know that there is a God? -How can we intelligently posit that God gave the Torah? -Why believe the Oral Tradition to be legitimate and relevant? -How is Judaism to be brought to life in modern society? -Why consider the possibility of a realm beyond the physical? -Why are the Jews so hated? -Isn’t it enough to be a good and moral person? -Is there more than one way to “do” Judaism?
