Amazing Chesed : Living a Grace-Filled Judaism EPUB
by Rabbi Rami Shapiro
EPUB
Description
The question isn't whether grace is there for you in Judaism.
The question is, do you have the courage to accept it?
"Chesed isn't a reward; it is reality. God's grace isn't limited to what we want to happen or might like to happen. God's grace is what is happening whether we like it or not. In short, God's grace is the giving of all to all."
-from the Introduction
Ask almost any Jew whether grace is a central concept in Judaism and an essential element in living Jewishly and, chances are, their answer will be "no." But that's the wrong answer. This fascinating foray into God's love freely given offers you-regardless of your level of Jewish involvement-a way to answer that question in the affirmative.
Drawing from ancient and contemporary, traditional and non-traditional Jewish wisdom, this book reclaims the idea of grace in Judaism in three ways:
- It offers a view of God that helps you understand what grace is, why grace is, and how grace manifests in the world.
- It sets forth a reading of Judaism that is grace-filled: an understanding of creation, Shabbat and other Jewish practices from a grace-filled perspective.
- It challenges you to be embraced and transformed by grace, and to live life as a vehicle for God's grace, thereby fulfilling the promise of being created in God's image and likeness.
