Bringing Heaven Down To Earth: Jewish Ethics for an Evolving and Complex World

by Shmuly M. Yanklowitz

With topics ranging from Jewish theology to interfaith relations, labor fairness and prescription drugs, to illegal immigration and women's rights, this new volume of compelling and thought-provoking essays by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz leaves no stone unturned. In a society where cynicism and apathy are becoming commonplace, Rabbi Shmuly argues for meaningful activism. When the underprivileged are exploited, Yanklowitz calls for justice. Not one to shy away from controversial issues, Rabbi Yanklowitz takes on subjects that affect modern Jews, indeed all citizens of the world, bringing unique insight in how to remedy problems prevalent around the globe. By turning to and connecting the expanse of secular and religious philosophy, Rabbi Yanklowitz produces a work that gives readers a chance to reach for heavens and bring them down to earth.
