Product Description

Product Description

The object of this book is to engage in a dialogue with the millions of the indifferent, the undecided, the don't knows and the don't cares who carry on pretending without any real conviction.


From the Author

Can Jews rely on Judaism for their Identity?
This book does not aim at providing answers, let alone solutions. EXODUS TO HUMANISM puts forward some questions about the dilemma of Jewishness in the modern world and analyzes them in the light o various experiences and opinions of prominent and ordinary Jews the world over and then leaves it the reader to laborate answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for the new millennium, 29 Jun 1999
By A Customer
For thousands of years Jewish identity was inextricably linked to the beliefs and rituals of Judasim. EXODUS TO JUDAISM captures the author's arguments as well as those of twenty six Jews (many mentioned in WHO'S WHO) in order to show why the future of the great Jewish cultural and historical heritage lies no longer in the binding force of Judaism. The author hopes that the Jews will become like other nationalities which have no covenant with God and that Israel may replace the synagogue with cultural, artistic, and other initiatives. He also advocates appropriate humanist rituals within the context of a humanist perspective

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a bold Israeli point of view on the Jewish dilemma., 11 Jul 2002
By A Customer
David Ibry, an Israeli born Jew, exhorts all Jews to face the traumatic fact that all religions, including the Jewish Religion, are obsolete and that a Jewish Identity based solely on an obsolete religion will sooner or later become obsolete.
The author maintains that a really secular Israeli model, retaining the great Jewish history and traditions, but without depending on religious belief for its nationhood,would help to save the Jewish national identity in the Diaspora. 25 notable Jews contribute to the book and argue the case for a second Exodus to Judaism,

5.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting, moving and at times funny book., 28 Oct 1999
By A Customer
26 highly intelligent and articulate people, from various countries, some very well known, have contributed their ideas and life experiences relating to the theme of identity and its links with religion, specifcally Jewish identity and Judaism. This theme though, is of universal interest and is not limited to Jewishness and Judaism. I think the author has woven a hetereogeneous collection of contributions rather skilfully into a number of related themes. His style is somewhat idiosyncratic, but I enjoyed his "excusions" and recommend it as helpful in clarifying ideas about he way forward and offering support when doubts about religion threaten a moral vacuum and crisis of identity.
