Why Be Jewish?

In this short and inspiring text, Rabbi David J. Wolpe addresses all who seek to enlarge the spiritual side of their lives and to know more about an ancient and enduring religion. For those considering a return to the faith of their forebears, for those intent on a clear and persuasive explanation of their heritage, for those drawn to conversion, Why Be Jewish? is a learned, graceful, and welcoming introduction to a timeless tradition. Each of its three chapters offers a different but complementary answer to the book's central question, and these three answers - to grow in soul, to join a people, to seek God - together form the core of Jewish belief. Intended as a first step on the path to spirituality, Why Be Jewish? is an invitation beckoning the reader into the heart of this venerable faith.
