After learning the basics of Judaism, graduate student Judd Lewis wanted to learn more. He dropped out of graduate school and enrolled full-time in an Israeli yeshiva. Now four years have passed and Judd is disillusioned. He confronts his former teacher and mentor, a Syrian Jew knowledgeable in Judaism, with a barrage of questions: Why do so many things in the Talmud seem to be just clever arguments? Doesn’t anyone care about what is really true? Did Moses really write the Torah? Why doesn’t yeshiva study ever face up to the challenges of science, of biblical criticism, and other aspects of the modern world? Most of all, where is “the reality of ha-Shem” in all this—shouldn’t that be the whole point of studying? Their dialogue, sometimes angry, sometimes humorous, ultimately touches on the most basic issues in Judaism, as Judd and his mentor each strive to convince the other of their very different views. This is a book for a wide audience : yeshiva students and yeshiva dropouts, the pious and the not-so-pious, and any reader eager to sit in on a seminar in Advanced Judaism.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Highly Recommended By Daniel L. Merriman For this Christian reader, there is a good bit of terminology used by Orthodox Jews that was unfamiliar, but the included glossary helps. That said, I found the book to be a fascinating take on a problem that confronts Christians as well as Jews - what are we to make of the Bible in these modern and post modern times? Kugel takes text criticism as a given, as anyone who has read his "How to Read the Bible" would expect, and is supremely uninterested in refuting any of it. The point of that earlier work- that older interpreters had a methodology appropriate to analyzing the Bible as Scripture as opposed to treating it as just another ancient text to be subjected to skeptical academic criticism- is made here but on a more personal and emotional level. I have read other works by Kugel and hope his health allows him to write many more. After I purchased this book, Amazon kindly recommended others, most of which I had either read or was familiar with. All of those shared one thing in common- they fail to escape the tyranny of the historical critical method. Kugel does.

By Sunscreen101 A fascinating continuation of the dialog Kugel started in ON BEING A JEW. He's one of the top biblical scholars in the world, but makes everything very accessible to the lay reader through this format. A lot to think about as Passover approaches.
4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A great read! By Rachel Kugel Definitely worth reading. No idea who this "James" fellow is, but he sure can write. And think! I keep getting more and more copies for his, er, my friends. Recommended without reservation.
