Knowing God : Jewish Journeys to the Unknowable Paperback / softback
by Elliot N. Dorff
Paperback / softback
Description
Contemporary Jews often find meaning in Judaism's family and communal orientation, its beautiful rituals, its enriching culture, its sense of ethnic rootedness, and its moral values.
For the classical Jewish tradition, however, all of these features of Judaism depend on a belief in God.
Since many modern Jews do not know what to make of that belief, it is often ignored.
They may be inspired by Judaism's high regard for education and its passion for justice, but their belief in God rests on childhood images of the Almighty.
They are often embarrassed and uneasy, for they sense that their attachment to Judaism may be based upon intellectual quicksand.
