In this new compilation of recent blogs, Jeremy Rosen draws on his experience as a rabbi, academic and teacher to provide insights on the issues facing life as a Jew in a western, open society, covering Jewish customs, tradition, and theology as well as history, politics and current affairs. Jeremy Rosen first started writing articles for two Jewish newspapers in the United Kingdom. Eventually, he outgrew the newspaper-column format, and he found other avenues for publishing. Now he has collected his columns and essays from 2014-2016 for readers' enjoyment. Jeremy Rosen covers a wide variety of topics in Commitment & Controversy. He shares his thoughts on everything from whether to write God as G-d to the role academia plays in perpetuating anti-Semitism. He consults sources ranging from the Talmud to philosophical treatises to modern political works to the wise advice of his father. Jeremy Rosen focuses on the larger issues the Jewish community faces and the small choices they make every day in relation to faith and culture. His work will appeal to everyone from secular to orthodox . Commitment & Controversy was created not only for the Jewish community but for anyone of any faith or none who is interested in learning more about Jewish culture.
