A stable, astutely reasoned, and well-thought-out discussion of moral principles in plain terms

Born in Hungary in 1924, a Holocaust survivor, an Israel immigrant in 1945, and receiving rabbinical ordination from Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, Rabbi Yehuda Amital helped to found the "hesder yeshivot" which enables religious students to study the Torah while serving in Israel's military. An educational pioneer and head of Isrel's largest hesder yeshiva, Rabbi Amital draws upon his undeniable expertise and erudition, as well as the wealth of personal experience, to present contemprory readers with an inspired and inspiring extended treatise: Jewish Values In A Changing World. Emphasizing that the Torah offers a message relevant to every generation, the need to respect all people created in God's image, and the importance of the flowing coexistence of religious life, humanity, and individuality, Jewish Values In A Changing World offers a stable, astutely reasoned, and well-thought-out discussion of moral principles in plain terms. As accessible to lay readers as to religious scholars, Jewish Values In A Changing World neither shies away from new transformations nor neglects the insights of past generations, and is a highly recommended treatise on the role of religion and morality in turbulent times.
