Showing results for "Good" in Judaism

Good Book is what happens when a regular guy actually reads the book on which his religion, his culture, and his world are based.

Why does God love bald men so much? Is Samson really that stupid? Good Book is an irreverent, enthralling journey through the world's most important work of literature.

In The Jewish Way to a Good Life, straight-shooting Rabbi Shira Stutman distills thousands of years of Jewish wisdom into practical, time-tested strategies for living a more meaningful life. She reminds us: You don't have to be Jewish to do Jewish. And she tells us how.

Fortunately, the Jewish tradition has tremendous resources to help us think about our relationships - with our partners, our children, our parents and our friends. How do we love when we are wounded ourselves? How do we express anger without slipping into scorn? How do we love our children as they are, while still ...

Religions have always existed. People who practice religion always believe that their chosen religion is the one, perfect, good religion approved by God,. They also believe that all other religions are false religions that God hates and punishes.

The history of religious conflict in the bible and recorded history confirms this ongoing religious warfare. In ”Religion Then and Now” we will ...
