Summary:
"What is Judaism? A religion? A faith? A way of life? A set of beliefs? A collection of commands? A culture? A civilisation? It is all these, but it is emphatically something more. It is a way of thinking about life, a constellation of ideas: a way of understanding the world and our place within it... In this inspiring work, Rabbi Sacks introduces his readers to one life-changing idea from each of the weekly parashot. If we change the way we think, he argues, we can change the way we feel, which changes the way we act, which changes the people we become. Ideas change lives, and great ideas help us attain courage, happiness, and lives filled with blessing"--Back cover.
