Torah and Tradition In An Age of DoubtWe all have questions about our faith. Often, however, we are given simple, unsatisfying answers. In this original and thought-provoking work, Rabbi Dr. Raphael Zarum responds to twelve challenging questions that confront the Torah today, questions about the veracity of its narratives, the morality of its laws, and the beliefs it engenders. To address these questions, the author brings historical, scientific, and philosophical research to bear on classical Jewish sources - with surprising and stimulating results.Rabbi Zarum is an acclaimed lecturer who travels the globe to teach in many Jewish communities and diverse institutions. He has a rare ability to face up to uncomfortable questions, reject stock responses, and explore the issues in a way that is both traditionally grounded and intellectually rigorous.Rabbi Dr. Raphael Zarum is one of this generation's greatest teachers of Judaism. His substantive and erudite treatments of these important issues are essential reading for anyone who takes questions seriously. To learn from him is to be intellectually enlightened and spiritually uplifted. Rabbi Joseph Dweck, Senior Rabbi, S&P Sephardi Community, UK Judaism without questions does not honor the divine. The person who raises fundamental questions is like a trusted minister in the palace of the king. Clarifying Jewish ethics transforms the religious life into a partnership with God. Rabbi Dr. Raphael Zarum is to be thanked for inviting us to join the questioners who bravely choose to advance the journey of faith. Rabbi Dr. Binyamin Lau, Director, 929 Tanakh BeYachad While his approach is fully his own, Rabbi Dr. Zarum shares many of the traits which shaped my father's work: the hunger for knowledge and the ability to integrate and synthesize wisdom from all sources.
