What do the great Jewish writings of the last 3,500 years tell us about all the vital questions about our lives? Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has devoted his life to the search for answers within the teachings of Judaism. In Jewish Wisdom, Rabbi Telushkin weaves together a tapestry of stories from the Bible and Talmud, and the insights of Jewish commentators and writers. Accompanying this extraordinary compliation is Telushkins compelling commentary, which reveals how these texts continue to instruct and challenge Jews - and all people concerned with leading ethical lives - today. As he discusses these texts, Rabbi Telushkin addresses issues of fundamental interest to modern readers: how to live with honesty and integrity in an often dishonest world; how to care for the sick and dying; and more. The reader will find extended sections illuminating Jewish perspectives on sex, romance, and marriage, how to use language ethically, and much more.
