Beschreibung:
In Judaism we're allowed to ask questions. We areinvited to ask them. But for young people, it often feelsas if no one is willing to take tough questions aboutreligion, ourselves and the world seriously.Tough Questions Jews Ask, 2nd Edition, turns thatall around. With honesty, humor and respect, RabbiEdward Feinstein tackles topics as diverse as:Why does God let terrible things happen?; What is God anyway?; If I pray for something, will I get it?; What's the meaning of life? Is that a dumb question?; Why does religion need so many rules?; Why be Jewish?And in this new edition: Do Jews get tattoos (and body piercings)?; I have a friend who is Muslim, is that OK?With insight and wisdom-and without pretending tohave all the answers-Rabbi Feinstein encouragesyoung people to make sense of the Jewish tradition bywrestling with what we don't understand.
