| 1. |  | I and Thou (Scribner Classics) from Scribner Price: $13.09 Customer Review:  I have read this particular edition of I and Thou several times. The Introduction by Walter Kaufmann is superb. He accurately extracts some of the essence of Buber's text, and places it in the context of Judeo-Christian thought. I say "some of the essence" because Kaufmann would likely be the first... |

| 3. |  | A Code of Jewish Ethics: Volume 1: You Shall Be Holy from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $15.75 Customer Review: I purchased vol. 2 of this series, and this first volume also looks worthwhile. However, I'd like to put in a word for Immanuel Kant. Kant wrote an entire book on religion emphasizing its ethical (moral) center. Statements made in the beginning of this book appear to be quite in agreement with that... |

| 4. |  | God in Search of Man : A Philosophy of Judaism from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $10.09 Customer Review: Heschel's God in Search of Man is a penetrating analysis of Judaism in the modern world, attempting, and largely succeeding, in showing the human relationship to God in a modern, Jewish framework. Heschel's thinking is very subtle, so this work needs to be read slowly and carefully, with... |

| 5. |  | A Code of Jewish Ethics, Volume 2: Love Your Neighbor as Yourself from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $17.00 Customer Review: Integrates biblical references and moral values to very good effect. In fact, the text is very fluent and easy to read with interesting case studies derived from the present time to antiquity. Really makes you think hard and to challenge yourself about new approaches to commonsense thought. |

His philosophy incorporated the somewhat mystical views of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato (about 428 to... |

| 7. |  | Raising a Child with Soul: How Time-Tested Jewish Wisdom Can Shape Your Child's Character from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $4.56 Customer Review: I really enjoy the "voice" of this author and her mother, too. Both of them write as if you are sitting down with them over a coffee for a good, yet serious, talk. So much of the book raises to a concious level what I strive to impart and provide my child daily. Its comforting to "hear" from a Torah... |

| 9. |  | The Lonely Man of Faith from Jason Aronson Price: $141.58 Customer Review: Whenever I read anything by Rabi Soloveitchik, he blows me away. The reader may find it benefitial to learn something about the ideas of covenant before engaging this book. It is also benefitial to learn the concept of revelation as understood in Judaism. Otherwise, a dictionary will do. Among... |

| 11. |  | Man Is Not Alone : A Philosophy of Religion from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $4.89 Customer Review: The late great Mr. Heschel hits this one way out of the park. This book is highly thoughtful and intelligent but not a academically stagnant work. Great addition to any library. |

| 13. |  | Maimonides, Spinoza and Us: Toward an Intellectually Vibrant Judaism from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $15.30 Customer Review: This is an important book for people who want to understand the truth of Judaism, rather than the obscurantist notion that Jews must accept the views of authorities without asking questions. Marc D. Angel is one of the leading American Orthodox rabbis. He is the founder and director of the... |

| 14. |  | Peace of Mind: Insights on Human Nature That Can Change Your Life from Citadel Price: $9.94 Customer Review: In 1969, when I was searching for answers to problems I was encountering as an atheist I read this book. I did not know when I bought it that Rabbi Liebman had a ministry to atheists & initially was only interested in the secular parts of the book. His writings on psychology helped me so much I... |

| 17. |  | Path of the Just (Torah Classics Library) from Feldheim Price: $22.22 Customer Review: This book is not intended to provide logical arguments as to why one should become an Orthodox Jew. For that, there are numerous books but I recommended simply downloading the free mp3 versions of the Torah proof by Lawrence Keleman (google Torah proof and hit first link- there are two lectures... |

| 21. |  | Persecution and the Art of Writing from University Of Chicago Press Price: $16.88 Customer Review: This book is an introduction to the sociology of knowledge. Or perhaps not. The historians must be aided by the sociologists of knowledge. That is a fact. It is the logic of the Houyhnhnms. The esoteric message of the esoteric philosopher is esoteric itself. Or is it? Perhaps it means nothing. Maybe... |

| 22. |  | A Book of Life: Embracing Judaism As a Spiritual Practice from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $12.60 Customer Review:  This shipment came in on time and in good condition. But it wasn't the extended illustrated edition with the extra pages as described on the Amazon website. One would think that since the link is made directly from the description, that the supplier would be issuing it exactly as described. However,... |

| 23. |  | Living a Life That Matters: Resolving the Conflict Between Conscience and Success from Knopf Price: $1.78 Customer Review: Subtly is the thread that weaves through every chapter of this warm and slightly fuzzy book. Reading Kushner is like wrapping yourself in a thick flannel blanket on a snowny night. This is wonderful to keep on hand for those days when you're a little stressed out or down. Covering a variety of... |

According to Lebowitz, it follows that religion is completely separate... |
