About this product
Product Information
For many Jews and non-Jews, the Torah, the Talmud and other rabbinic writings have long been interpreted as saying that the Jews alone are God's chosen people. According to Sears, The Path of the Baal Shem Tov, such readings have led to a struggle among Jews between assimilation-losing their particular Jewish identity-and withdrawal-preserving their particular Jewish identity and surviving as a people. Sears contends that this struggle between particularism and universalism is often misguided, for he argues that the particularism of Judaism engenders a model of spirituality and moral refinement that will inspire the rest of the world to turn to God of its own accord. In order to demonstrate the depth from which Judaism speaks in a universalistic voice, Sears collects a wide range of sources from a number of periods in Jewish history. In the section on Judaism and Non-Jews, the Talmudic teaching of Rabbi Yochanan, Whoever speaks wisdom, although he is a non-Jew, is a sage, urges respect for the wisdom of other traditions. In the section on The Chosen People, two Midrash passages demonstrate the idea of Israel as spiritual model: God gave the Torah to the Jewish people so that all nations might benefit by it ; Just as the [sacrifice of the dove] atones for transgression, Israel atones for the nations of the world. Finally, in a section on Messianic Vision, Sears argues that Jewish writings state that it is the Messiah's primary task to return the entire world to God and God's teachings. Sears's extensive sourcebook is a rich collection of primary writings on the role of compassion in the Jewish tradition. (Sept.) -Publisher's Weekly

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
