Description - There Shall Be No Needy by Rabbi Jill Jacobs
What do Jewish texts and traditions have to say to our contemporary society in crisis? This fascinating treatise confronts the most pressing issues of twenty-first-century society - including health care, criminal justice, work and the environment - by bringing classical Jewish sources into striking dialogue with contemporary policy debates and the real-life stories of working people. The results are often unexpected.
Written by one of the leading young voices in the arena of social justice, it presents a template for engagement in public life from a Jewish perspective and challenges us to renew our obligations to each other.
This invigorating look at religion and public policy will appeal to Jews seeking to understand contemporary issues through a Jewish lens; to social change agents asking how to connect their work and ideals with their Jewish heritage; and to anyone interested in the vital question of what religion can and should mean in the world today.
