"A guide to contemporary Judaism by law professor and public intellectual Noah Feldman"-- Provided by publisher.
What does it mean to be a Jew? At a time of worldwide crisis, venerable answers to this question have become unsettled.

How do Jews today understand their relationship to God, to Israel, and to each other--and live their lives accordingly?
