This book has two purposes: first, it is an appeal to preserve the center. In the Jewish world and beyond, strong centrifugal forces are hard at work pushing towards the extremes. Yet the proper path, the holy path, is the Golden Mean, the ???? ???? as articulated by Rabbi Moses Maimonides and others.

More DescriptionThis book has two purposes: first, it is an appeal to preserve the center. In the Jewish world and beyond, strong centrifugal forces are hard at work pushing towards the extremes. Yet the proper path, the holy path, is the Golden Mean, the ???? ???? as articulated by Rabbi Moses Maimonides and others. It is the great affliction of our times that we obsess about what is secondary and derivative (???) and ignore what is primary (????).This book attempts to restore the Golden Mean and elevate the Primary above the secondary. It is a defense of humility, moderation and reason, and a polemic against the arrogance, cliquishness, condescension and extremism prevalent in so many quarters of the Jewish world.Secondly and even more importantly: The ???? (Diaspora) is over and we are entering a new stage of history. We must radically re-think our '????? ?, our service to God in light of this fact; we must move away from the defensive, retrograde survival motif which has dominated Jewish thought for the last two millennia and be more pro-active in our relationship with God and in influencing the world for the good. Specifically, I hope to make the case for a higher, more intensified level of Jewish living that makes a significant impact on the world at large, brings us closer to our national mission of sanctifying God's Name in the world - and one which will ultimately herald the blessings of the Messianic Age for all humanity - an age which is unfolding before our very eyes.This book is entitled Holistic Judaism because it is an integrational approach to self-improvement, advocating balance in the physical, spiritual, intellectual and emotional spheres of our lives. For before we can fix the world, i.e., herald the Messianic Age, we must first fix ourselves.
