Synopsis

This book investigates Judaism at its best—and sanest. It strips away outdated and harmful beliefs that have accrued over the centuries and returns to the essential truths that are too-often ignored in favor of tradition, tribal identity, or the claims of the powerful.

The result is a vibrant Judaism for the twenty-first century and beyond—a Judaism that draws deeply from history and scripture yet addresses the unmet needs of the present and the future. It is a Judaism that is open and accessible to everyone.

Judaism without tribalism is a call to be a light unto the nations, and a blessing to all the people of the earth. It is a Judaism free from legalism and tribalism—a Judaism that refuses to serve patriarchy and power.

Written by one of today's most respected—and most unconventional—Jewish thinkers, Judaism Without Tribalism is a manifesto, an invitation to completeness, and a call for inner and outer spiritual revolution. It is also a deeply practical guide to living authentically, breath by breath and day by day.

For me this book was a real eye opener. I consider myself spiritual but not religious. I have to admit this book helped me understand a lot! I grew up in a catholic faith and I had a lot of questions most of my life but since I, like many of us, were programmed to believe what the religious “authority......more

While I don’t agree with every little thing in this book, I really enjoyed it and it really did invoke deep thought. I think everyone should give this book a chance.......more
