Sh'ma: A Jewish Path (Sh'ma Journal: Independent Thinking on Contemporary Judaism Book 42)

This Sh’ma focuses on how we walk in the world as Jews, the multitude of paths that lead us toward deeper Jewish commitment — or away from it. Personal stories express the fluid nature of identity, belief, and practice. A couple of writers, for example, examine what the term “authenticity” means today. Other writers speak to the significance of language or place. Together, these essays offer a glimpse of life’s mysteries, our sometimes messy experiments and counter-experiments, our achingly and also wonderfully, non-linear trajectories.
