Accepting the Yoke of Heaven

Résumé du livre

"Accepting the Yoke of Heaven is a collection of thoughts on the weekly Torah portion by the Jewish philosopher, Yeshayahu Leibowitz. As he leads us from Creation to the death of Moses, Professor Leibowitz takes us on a journey of philosophical discovery. Revealing his radical views on the nature of God and His relationship with Man, Leibowitz challenges our conceptions of the purpose of prayer and the presence of holiness in the world. He demands compliance with Jewish law for its own sake, irrespective of expectations of reward or punishment. Written with unflinching honesty and conviction, Accepting the Yoke of Heaven is a work of startling erudition."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
