Rethinking Jewish Faith [PDF ebook] 
The Child of a Survivor Responds

Soporte

This book addresses the faith of a member of the ‘Second Generation’—the offspring of the original survivors of the Shoah . It is a re-examination of those categories of faith central to the Jewish Religious Experience in light of the Shoah: God, Covenant, Prayer, Halakhah and Mitzvot, Life-Cycle, Festival Cycle, Israel and Zionism, and Christianity from the perspective of a child of a survivor.
