In the face of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation, Rabbi Shai Held--one of the most important Jewish thinkers in America today--recovers the heart of the Jewish tradition, offering the radical and moving argument that love belongs as much to Judaism as it does to Christianity. Blending intellectual rigor, a respect for tradition and the practices of a living Judaism, and a commitment to the full equality of all people, Held seeks to reclaim Judaism as it authentically is. He shows that love is foundational and constitutive of true Jewish faith, animating the singular Jewish perspective on injustice and protest, grace, family life, responsibilities to our neighbors and even our enemies, and chosenness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmbitious and revelatory, \u003ci\u003eJudaism Is About Love\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the true essence of Judaism--an act of restoration from within.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shai Held\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374192448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374192440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.20w x 2.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2023 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/13\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/26\/2024 pg. 1","brand":"Shai Held","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169638445311,"sku":"9780374192440","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b372b953-ed9b-443d-ae61-ac54817e306c.jpg?v=1689654079","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/judaism-is-about-love-shai-held-9780374192440","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
