Dear Safranim, I want to present you a new book on a Cultural and Humanistic perspective of Judaism:
>Bernardo Sorj, Judaism for Everyone ... without Dogma (2010), >presents an exceptional and stimulating view of Judaism. The author >argues for a Judaism oriented by humanistic values and personal >freedom. Individuals that value their capacity to decide what is >right and wrong cannot accept ready-made formulas. For them, the >question is not what Judaism is but rather how to find their own way >to be a Jew. Tradition and collective memory are raw materials that >each generation must reinterpret and in which new meanings are >found. Judaism for Everyone ... without Dogma is an effort to >contribute to the advancement of Judaism that is based on freedom >not on fear or blind acceptance of authority. > >Bernardo Sorj has a degree in Jewish history from the University of >Haifa and a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Manchester. He >is currently the director of the EdelsteinCenter for Social Research >and a professor of sociology at the Federal University of Rio de >Janeiro. He has authored 23 books, which have been published in >English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese, and over 100 articles. In >2005, he was elected "Man of Ideas" in Brazil. > >Published by: International Federation for Secular & Humanistic >Judaism,www.ifshj.org > >Available at your local bookstore or on line at (click on a >corresponding logo to visit vendor's website): Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Borders All the best, Efraim >Dr. Efraim Zadoff >E.D.Z.
