  is a “Christian idea” and not a Jewish one. But what if we have it al
 l wrong? Join Rabbi Shai Held as he introduces the central themes of the b
 ook then joins Rabbi Steve Greenberg in a conversation on the centrality o
 f love to &nbsp\;the Jewish vision of ethics\, spirituality\, and theology
 . What can Judaism teach us about love\, and what can a renewed focus on l
 ove reveal to us about Judaism?\n\nAbout the Book\nA dramatic misinterpret
 ation of the Jewish tradition has shaped the history of the West: Christia
 nity is the religion of love\, and Judaism the religion of law. In the fac
 e of centuries of this widespread misrepresentation\, Rabbi Shai Held—on
 e of the most important Jewish thinkers in America today—recovers the he
 art of the Jewish tradition\, offering the radical and moving argument tha
 t love belongs as much to Judaism as it does to Christianity. Blending int
 ellectual rigor\, a respect for tradition and the practices of a living Ju
 daism\, and a commitment to the full equality of all people\, Held seeks t
 o reclaim Judaism as it authentically is. He shows that love is foundation
 al and constitutive of true Jewish faith\, animating the singular Jewish p
 erspective on injustice and protest\, grace\, family life\, responsibiliti
 es to our neighbors and even our enemies\, and chosenness.\n\nAmbitious an
 d revelatory\, Judaism Is About Love illuminates the true essence of Judai
 sm—an act of restoration from within.\n\n\n\n\n\n
