A Time to Speak: Controversial Essays That Can Change Your Life

An impassioned—even confrontational—defense of Judaism, this collection of essays forthrightly tackles topics such as the terrible repercussions that have occurred because of a lack of decorum in the synagogue, the correct response to the missionary menace, how to avoid being overly pious at the expense of others, and the importance and use of the major gematria systems. In an inimitable style, author Martin Stern takes on those who would seek to dilute the beauty that Judaism has to offer.
