To Mend the World: Foundations of Post-Holocaust Jewish Thought
In To Mend the World Emil L. Fackenheim points the way to Judaism's renewal in a world and an age in which all of our notions — about God, humanity, and revelation — have been severely challenged. He tests the resources within Judaism for healing the breach between secularism and revelation after the Holocaust. Spinoza, Rosenzweig, Hegel, Heidegger, and Buber figure prominently in his account.
On Women and Judaism: A View from Tradition
A classic for more than 20 years, this thought-provoking volume explores the role of Jewish women in the synagogue, in the family, and in the secular world. Greenberg offers ways to change present Jewish practices so that they more readily reflect feminine equality.
