As a result of                 our confrontation with Modernity, the integration of Jews into                 the American mainstream, the shattering tragedy of the                 Holocaust, and the miraculous rebirth of a Jewish State in the                 Land of Israel, we can no longer look easily to the past for                 lessons of faith and models of Jewish meaning. No longer do we                 confidently project ourselves into the future. So much of what                 was taken for granted in earlier times is now open to question.                  \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eIn this thought-provoking book, five                 celebrated leaders in Judaism, representing a broad spectrum of                 contemporary Jewish experience, reinterpret Jewish life,                 re-envision its institutions, and re-imagine its future in the                 shadow of the events of the twentieth century. \u003c\/p\u003e            \u003cp\u003eReflecting on the unique events of this                 century, these eminent scholars assert a shared recognition of                 human responsibility as the quintessence of God’s                 presence in the world. They imagine a new stage in the                 development of the ancient Covenant, a stage in which human                 beings take responsibility for shaping the Jewish historical                 experience. They explore how that new stage will find                 expression in the rhythms of Jewish personal and communal                 life—its implications for \u003ci\u003ehalachah,\u003c\/i\u003e prayer, spirituality, the synagogue, and our relations with the world. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112036909296,"sku":"9781580236744","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781580236744_p0.jpg?v=1763778133","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781580236744","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
