Whether they respect religion, hate or fear it, secular Jews are often unaware that the problem is rooted in the religious worldview as such, and not in the character or habits of the people who live it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome examples can be found in the now obsolete religious laws targeting anyone who is not observant: a permission to kill a secular Jew, a prohibition to save a non-Jewish life, a law that deems any non-Jew an untrustworthy liar, and many more. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYaron Yadan is a special person. He is an expert on Judaism, having served as a Rabbi and the head of a Jewish religious seminar, and today he is a secular Jew who continues to learn and investigate the world he left behind. Through this unique book, Yadan opens for his readers a vista into the religious language and worldview and provides a basis of knowledge for anyone disturbed by questions of identity, religion, and nationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yaron Yadan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8557546289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798557546287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.62d","brand":"Yaron Yadan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190891016447,"sku":"9798557546287","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_99b3e3e6-ec55-4703-9e3f-74ada21d2474.jpg?v=1690872926","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-caught-in-its-own-yaron-yadan-9798557546287","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
