Description

Ninety-two percent of American Jews have a sporadic relationship to Judaism at best. When attending synagogue (as infrequently as possible) they feel, as Michael Levin puts it, "bored, shnorred and ignored." What Every Jew Needs to Know About God is addressed to those people, and attempts to provide at least the beginnings of an answer to those questions which most American Jews feel have not been adequately treated by the organized religious Jewish community. As Levin puts it, "my suspicion is that a lot of Jews wish they had a deeper understanding not of how to celebrate this holiday or how to observe this particular custom - I think a lot of Jews are curious about God." And so Levin in his exposition keeps God at the center of his attention, and, in particular, the individual's need for a relationship with his or her Creator from a Jewish perspective.
