It is, instead, learning to live with constant change and return—without trying to control it. Great Jewish teachers have always understood this, and it is this that forms the heart of all Jewish ethics. We need to accept the fluidity of life; not look for workarounds; and act justly and compassionately, with full attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough the voices of 65 ancient Jewish Sages, the ancient Jewish text known as \u003ci\u003ePirke Avot\u003c\/i\u003e provides a treasury of insights for acting rightly and ethically. Pithy and wise, many of these insights continue to be considered profound, dangerous, or both by leaders in the religious and secular worlds. \u003ci\u003eWise Blasphemy\u003c\/i\u003e explores all of this without scholarly fuss. It is a deeply practical interpretation (in Hebrew, a \u003ci\u003etargum\u003c\/i\u003e) from which these profound truths of the ancient Hebrew Sages emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Rami Shapiro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49060470096123,"sku":"9781966608967","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/wise-blasphemy-9781966608967","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
