Paperback. Zustand: Good. On November 3, 2020, I had emergency heart surgery. As part of the healing process, I unwittingly intensified my writing poetry in gratitude to those who saved my life and supported me in the harrowing days which followed. In the hospital, I was deeply moved by the constant kindness of the healthcare professionals and my family members who helped me back to life. I saw in them a kindness response to life which I always knew existed but now appreciated as the core value of what it means to be a human being. This slim book mostly includes poems written in the wake of my brush with death at the age of 66, events of the last two years and a few pieces reflecting on previous experiences. I hope it adequately expresses my gratitude to those who took care of me in my hour of need and helps others see the need for kindness in everything we do in the hospital, on the street, and at home.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - I am a Jew because I believe that Judaism understands that between mercy and justice there is a path of righteousness.I am a Jew because I believe the 'saving of a life' is an urgent mitzvah.I am a Jew because I believe Judaism believes that education is an urgent mitzvah.I am a Jew because Judaism rejects the belief that it is superior to other traditions and makes its claim on me only because it is already mine.I am a Jew because in Judaism all of God's children are equally God's children and every life is sacred.I am a Jew because Judaism believes that existence is not an accident and has meaning.I am a Jew because Judaism recognizes holiness in everything beautiful, kind, and just in this world.I am a Jew because Judaism is my spiritual home, and from my home, I can share in the beauty and delights of all creation.I am a Jew because Judaism believes in personal responsibility, forgiveness, and hope.I am a Jew because Judaism values my humanity above my ethnicity and enables me to become a better person by becoming a better Jew.I am a Jew because Judaism recognizes that the world is not complete and that all of ushave deep responsibilities in completing it and thereby complete ourselves as human beings and as Jews.- Rabbi Lance J. Sussman, Ph.D.…

Sussman, Ph.D., presents a compelling anthology of essays exploring the evolution of American Jewish history, Reform Judaism, and religious leadership through the eyes of a scholar deeply rooted in both pulpit and academia. Spanning over forty years of research and reflection, this collection brings together 36 essays that examine topics such as American Jewish history before and after the Civil War, the role of figures like Isaac Leeser, the impact of the 1883 Trefa Banquet, and the transformation of synagogue architecture.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In short, I believe, a little bit of religion is a good thing whether or not you fully embrace the idea of God. I believe that Judaism should accept this approach and help its adherents translate their deep, inherent religious needs with the symbols and practices of our ancient tradition. Judaism understands that not only does it have to adapt as part of its cultural dance, but it also has to choose and to create in order to complete its mission: to help modern Jews, the children of Spinoza, and the disciples of Einstein, to stay on course, to see the poetry written into the cosmos, and to help one another on the road to contentment with kindness, with concern and with love. Every once in a while, somebody comes to me and says: 'Rabbi, I'm so glad I'm Jewish.' 'Rabbi, I'm lucky. I have what I need. I have what I want.' And I smile and count my blessings, too.…
