Judaism Ignored - What the Prophet Isaiah Could Fix...If We Would Only Listen

Isaiah is - and always has been - a crucial part of authentic Torah Judaism. It's just that his voice has lately become a bit harder to hear. The essays in this book are meant to inspire you to listen for the faint echoes of that voice; faint stirrings of a much safer and happier Jewish world than the one we now inhabit. A world whose citizens are themselves inspired by Isaiah's lofty moral vision.
Consider a Jew who has carefully and deliberately integrated Isaiah's world view into his regular decision making. Could he fail to shrink in horror before needlessly causing harm to anyone or anything? Would he not aggressively stand up to oppression and crime and passionately defend the undefended? Would he unthinkingly and wastefully chase after the empty folly of shifting social trends? Would he silently submit to the pressures of community leadership when it's misguided? Would the mature, intelligent values absorbed during his children's formative years at home and school not draw them instinctively to healthy behavior and associations?
Sure. It's hard work, It's "good for us" in a medicine-we-don't-particularly-like-taking kind of way. It's a curriculum that must remain only one element of a full and rounded Torah life. It's the kind of study that, if one isn't careful, carries the risk of misinterpretation.
But not trying at all will surely leave us a whole lot poorer.
