Tough Questions Jews Ask

invited to ask them. But for young people, it often feels

as if no one is willing to take tough questions about

religion, ourselves and the world seriously.

Tough Questions Jews Ask, 2nd Edition, turns that

all around. With honesty, humor and respect, Rabbi

Edward Feinstein tackles topics as diverse as:

Why does God let terrible things happen?; What is God anyway?; If I pray for something, will I get it?; What's the meaning of life? Is that a dumb question?; Why does religion need so many rules?; Why be Jewish?

And in this new edition: Do Jews get tattoos (and body piercings)?; I have a friend who is Muslim, is that OK?

With insight and wisdom-and without pretending to

have all the answers-Rabbi Feinstein encourages

young people to make sense of the Jewish tradition by

wrestling with what we don't understand.
