Description

More Unfinished Business is a companion to Rabbi Plaut's 1981 memoir, Unfinished Business, offering readers his reflections on the unfolding of his life and work during the past two decades. This is a book of doings and musings rather than a detailed analysis of events. Plaut considers how the events and issues he was involved with forced him to confront and reassess his life's work, his religious, institutional, and political commitments. To understand this process, the reader is invited to consider something of the private man behind the events. It is this effort to reveal himself as a person, rather than as an actor in history, that gives added meaning to his reminiscences. He discusses a broad range of concerns and involvements - wrestling with prayer, the future of Judaism, ageing and mortality, parting with material possessions, even his passion for tennis.
