From the Inside Flap:
For generations, Jewish men found their "macho" in mastery of Torah, in heartfelt worship, and in deeds of lovingkindness and charity. True Jewish masculine power was not a fist but an open heart and open hand--and this is still true today.
About the Author:
In this remarkable and eclectic collection, more than fifty Jewish men re-engage their hearts and minds with the Torah and its stories and messages to offer inspiring commentaries that help us better understand how to deal with our lives.
Presented in a week-by-week format, their insights--profoundly personal, often surprising--provide a men's perspective and a uniquely modern perspective. They encourage you to stretch your mind and soul while looking deeply into what the Torah has to say about the most important concerns of modern men:
* What it means to be a father, son, husband, partner, lover
* Balancing work, career, community, and family; avoiding burnout
* The meaning of self-sacrifice as a man
* How to reclaim the virtue of masculine patience in a hurried world
* The meaning of materialism in our lives as men
* Ethical struggles in interpersonal relationships
* Men's health, body image and sexuality issues
* Dealing with aging, fragility, death, and mortality as a man
... and much more
"A rare experience ... mirrors the richness of the multiple interpretive voices found in the modern Jewish world."
--Dr. David Hartman, founder and director, Shalom Hartman Institute; author, A Living Covenant: The Innovative Spirit in Traditional Judaism
