The People Behind This Book
Rabbi Dr Marc D. AngelAuthor
Can Judaism be fully committed to Torah, intellectually serious, and open to the modern world?
Rabbi Ben Ṣion Uziel (1880–1953), Sepharadi Chief Rabbi of the Land of Israel, was a major Torah authority whose teaching remains underappreciated. Drawing on his writings, Rabbi Dr Marc D. Angel presents his worldview on conversion, halakha in a modern Jewish state, women in Jewish law, nationalism, and tolerance.
Rabbi Uziel’s path is committed to Torah and miṣvot, open to general knowledge, and alert to modern life: a Judaism principled and compassionate, pursuing truth and peace at once. This edition includes an updated preface by Rabbi Angel.
