Arguing that science and anti-religious philosophy are not responsible for the decline of Judaism, Rabbi Cardozo says it is those who teach it that make Judaism appear irrelevant to the needs and problems of modern man. Jewish law and custom are taught as a dogmatic creed and no longer contains the exciting spontaneity of worship, while remaining formalistic, replacing love with habit. Instead, the author believes that Judaism must reflect deep compassion to recapture the flowing fountain of a glorious tradition-if not, all becomes meaningless. The author is dean of the David Cardozo School for Jewish Studies and Human Dignity.

Dotted everywhere are mind-boggling statements, and absolute gems of wisdom, from an extremely courageous Orthodox rabbi. —Doreen Wachmann, Jewish Telegraph

Rabbi Cardozo deals with the most complex issues in a forthright and stimulating fashion. —Rabbi Dr. Marc D. Angel, past President of the Rabbinical Council of America
