Books by Jack Shechter

This two-volume Journey of a Rabbi consists of essays describing ventures undertaken, events experienced, and ideas articulated that reflect the life work of a rabbi and Jewish educator. What threads its way throughout these writings is a persistent search for ways and means to revitalize Jewish life in our time.

This book explores the relationship between God, the Jewish people, and the Land of Israel, bringing clarity to issues of great moment - both in the past and in our time. The author's analyses are rooted in Biblical and rabbinic texts themselves, in addition to other scholarly disciplines that relate.
