Menachem Creditor

Intense Beginnings Menachem Creditor

These essays by Rabbi Menachem Creditor model the kind of fierce ethical commitment to justice - for women, for the poor, for victims of gun violence, for communities of color, for our cousins in Israel - that lies at the heart of Jewish teaching and scholarship. This book offers a roadmap into difficult conversations. Creditor's courage in marrying law to faith to social justice in these pages stands as an intense beginning to a dialogue; an invitation to speak out boldly about how the work of tikkun olam must proceed." - Dahlia Lithwick, Senior Supreme Court correspondent, Slate
