Reviewed by Claire Gorfinkel *

For some time now, I have longed for a study group that would consider common themes in Jewish, Muslim and Christian texts. But as is so often the case, in my longing I have created a set of expectations that are virtually impossible to fulfill.

Shalom Center Books

Submitted by mesader on

The movement for "Jewish renewal" has both learned from and created a number of books that The Shalom Center makes available through its Website, in association with Powell's Books.

You can navigate through the sections below to find books by Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director of the Shalom Center, and other authors associated with the Jewish revewal movement.

The Jewish-renewal current of thought and action originated in the intertwining of four strands of Jewish rethinking in the 1960s and 1970s, followed by two approaches that emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. Below, we place a number of the books in these patterns, and then suggest some other categories for seeking nourishment in thought about Jewish renewal.

Gender Equality

Submitted by Editor on
