What your rabbi probably has never told you, but could—if you'd only ask. "Every day I wonder if God is real, if the Torah is true. Every day I wonder why I’m a Jew. But that’s part of being Jewish. In the Torah, we’re called Yisrael—the ones who wrestle with God. Wrestling, asking, wondering, searching is just what God wants us to do! God loves good questions. Now tell me, what are your questions?" —from Chapter 1 In Judaism we’re allowed to ask questions. We are invited to ask them. But for young people, it often feels as if no one is willing to take tough questions about religion, ourselves, and the world seriously. This updated and expanded new edition of Tough Questions Jews Ask turns that all around. With honesty, humor and respect, Rabbi Edward Feinstein tackles topics as diverse as: Why Does God Let Terrible Things Happen? What Is God Anyway? If I Pray for Something, Will I get It? What’s the meaning of life? Is that a dumb question? Why Does Religion Need So Many Rules? Why Be Jewish? With insight and wisdom—and without pretending to have all the answers—Rabbi Feinstein encourages young people to make sense of the Jewish tradition by wrestling with what we don’t understand.

If you have ever wondered what being born Jewish should mean to you; if you want to find out more about the nature of Judaism, or explain it to a friend; if you are thinking about how Judaism can connect with the rest of your life -- this is the first book you should own. It poses, and thoughtfully addresses, questions like these: Can one doubt God's existence and still be a good Jew? Why do we need organized religion? Why shouldn't I intermarry? What is the reason for dietary laws? How do I start practicing Judaism? The Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism was written for the educated, skeptical, searching Jew, and for the non-Jew who wants to understand the meaning of Judaism. It has become a classic and very widely read introduction to the oldest living religion. Concisely and engagingly, authors Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin present Judaism as the rational, moral alternative for contemporary man.

The question and answer method employed to clarify the fundamental issues and teachings of Judaism vis-à-vis modern thought contributes to the uniqueness of this volume. The questions were addressed to Dr. Kaplan at forums throughout the country and in letters addressed to him personally. They reflect the difficulties and the doubts which confront American Jews who strive to understand Judaism and seek to reconcile it with the modern outlook on life. The answers are clear-cut, and formulated so they are intelligible for present-day Jewish living. In sum, the book is a guide for American Jews who are perplexed and who are in search of a meaningful Jewish life. Every Jew, interested in Jewish life and thought, will find this book informative and inspiring, and a source of self-education in Judaism. Every Jew, or non-Jew, interested in the encounter of civilizations and their effect on each other will, through this book, gain an insight into the moral and spiritual forces that impel the Jewish people to maintain its inviduality and to contribute its share to the life of mankind.

Let's Talk Jewish is nothing more than an attempt to present ideas and teachings that are dear to all Jews and Christians. We feel the greatest blessing will come, if after reading one page, you the reader can sit back and say, "I never really looked at it that way". When that happens our goal will have been accomplished. This book is meant to be used, marked up, studied, not admired.
