Review :
Writing from the front lines of the Jewish encounter with the 21st century, Zack Bodner offers a wise and courageous road map to navigating the challenges and opportunities of this time. Bodner presents a vision of a Jewish community that embraces diversity and experimentation, even as it rediscovers the essentials of a timeless Jewish life. There is no better guide to the Jewish future than Zack Bodner; and as he makes clear in this compelling book, the future is now. -- Yossi Klein Halevi, Senior Fellow at Shalom Hartman Institute, author of Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor "Zack Bodner brings to all his work -- on behalf of Israel, American Jewish communities, now, his writing -- both an infectious love for Judaism and the Jewish people as well as a deep intelligence. His passion, his wit and his devotion to life rich with meaning make this book a wonderful read." -- Daniel Gordis, author of Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn, Shalem College in Jerusalem "Why Do Jewish? A Manifesto for 21st Century Jewish Peoplehood is brilliant and required reading for anyone who wants to explore why Jewish wisdom is so relevant and important for living a good life and building a good society." -- Tiffany Shlain, Emmy-nominated filmmaker, author of 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week "Why Do Jewish is the book so many of us were waiting for. I am confident that it will become the main guidebook on how to practically connect Judaism to dynamic life in the 21st century." -- Micah Goodman, Israeli author "Zack Bodner is one of the most innovative leaders in todays American Jewish community, and this book is packed with ideas - about where weve come from, where we are headed, and what from our tradition can help us -- in service of a vibrant Jewish future." Dr Yehuda Kurtzer, President of The Shalom Hartman Institute of North America "Judaism isnt a spectators sport. In a friendly, down-to-earth, passionate tone, with humour and depth, Bodner is giving fresh answers to the ancient questions Jews have been always asking: why, how, and what makes them Jews." -- Ruth Calderon, Founder and Director of ALMA Home for Hebrew Culture, author of A Bride for One Night: Talmud Tales "Zack Bodner has done that rare thing -- written a book that makes those who of us who love being Jewish want to revisit the tradition anew, and those who have written off Judaism want to take a second look. Why Do Jewish explains our magical inheritance in concrete, accessible, relevant terms, and gives us a roadmap to explore it, understand it, practice it, and pass it on." -- Abigail Pogrebin, author of My Jewish Year: 18 Holidays, One Wondering Jew
