Can Judaism Be Saved?

Its Future After Gaza

About this book

Can Judaism be saved from its most dangerous currents?

That's the question Rabbi Arthur Green poses in this urgent exploration of the spiritual and ethical challenges facing Judaism today. Green examines the tension between universalist values and exclusivist tendencies across Jewish history, showing this tension's roots in biblical, rabbinic, mystical, and Hasidic teachings.

Green challenges us to confront the darker currents within Jewish history and thought while embracing the universal truths of freedom, equality, and human dignity that lie at the heart of the Torah. He envisions a Judaism that transcends narrow nationalism and exclusivity, offering a path of service to humanity and the world.

Can Judaism Be Saved? invites readers to engage in a bold and necessary conversation about the future of Jewish identity, the role of Israel, and the moral responsibilities of the Jewish people.

"Art Green has long been one of the most significant spiritual teachers of our generation. He has now added a prophetic voice to his spiritual mission by offering a searing critique of the religious pretenses of the current Israeli government of messianists and racists, grounding his critique in Jewish texts and theology, in Jewish history and memory."
—Dr. Michael Berenbaum, editor, A Shattered World: Jews and Israel After October 7

"At a moment when so many Jews are disillusioned with the presentation of Judaism in American Jewish life and with the political direction of the Israeli government, Arthur Green, one of our great scholars and teachers, shows us a different path: how Judaism's religious teachings can lead us to a Zionism of peace and a commitment to foster diversity and overcome exclusivity."
—Dr. Susannah Heschel, author, The Aryan Jesus: Christian Theologians and the Bible in Nazi Germany
