Rabbi Joseph Telushkin has devoted his life to the search for answers within the teachings of Judaism. In Jewish Wisdom, Rabbi Telushkin, the author of the highly acclaimed Jewish Literacy, weaves together a tapestry of stories from the Bible and Talmud, and the insights of Jewish commentators and writers from Maimonides, Rashi, and Hillel to Einstein, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Elie Wiesel. A richer source of crucial life lessons would be hard to imagine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccompanying this extraordinary compilation is Telushkin's compelling commentary, which reveals how these texts continue to instruct and challenge Jews and all people concerned with leading ethical lives today As he discusses these texts, Rabbi Telushkin addresses issues of fundamental interest to modern readers: how to live with honesty and integrity in an often dishonest world; how to care for the sick and dying; how to teach children to respect both themselves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand others, how to understand and confront such great tragedies as antisemitism. and the Holocaust; what God wants from humankind.
