Rabbi Leo Dee answers the fundamental question: why bother being Jewish in a modern world?
Using history and logic, Rabbi Dee explains how Judaism enhances daily life to make it more meaningful. “Transforming the World: The Jewish Impact on Modernity” focuses on the tolerance and equality of all mankind that is fundamental in Judaism. With a combination of commandments, traditions, and history, Rabbi Dee shows how Jewish culture transforms your life and the wider world for the better.
"Transforming the World . . . is a straightforward book that addresses Jews who want to know what Judaism has to offer them personally . . . . Dee presents Judaism in this novel way in order to bring his main point across to his readers: Judaism is worth investigating and absolutely has something to offer the modern Jew."
