Israel's Faith


Read by LibriVox Volunteers

(4.8 stars; 6 reviews)

A series of short readings (lessons, if you will) for Jewish youth and others. This book ought not to be viewed as a kind of catechism, but the author and editor offer helpful perspectives on Jewish belief. - Summary by KevinS (4 hr 30 min)

(5 stars)

Excelent revision of Jewish faith; his vision of creation is slightly too naive for post Darwinian times, and he put too much weight in the future life for a mainstream representation of Judaism. For the rest, in my view he is spot on
