In the face of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation, Rabbi Shai Held--one of the most important Jewish thinkers in America today--recovers the heart of the Jewish tradition, offering the radical and moving argument that love belongs as much to Judaism as it does to Christianity. Blending intellectual rigor, a respect for tradition and the practices of a living Judaism, and a commitment to the full equality of all people, Held seeks to reclaim Judaism as it authentically is. He shows that love is foundational and constitutive of true Jewish faith, animating the singular Jewish perspective on injustice and protest, grace, family life, responsibilities to our neighbors and even our enemies, and chosenness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAmbitious and revelatory, \u003ci\u003eJudaism Is About Love\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the true essence of Judaism--an act of restoration from within.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRabbi Shai Held\u003c\/b\u003e--theologian, educator, author--is the president, dean, and chair in Jewish thought at the Hadar Institute in New York City.
