The Religious Other: Hostility, Hospitality, and the Hope of Human Flourishing
Happiness: A Jewish Perspective
Happiness has both universal and culturally specific forms. This article describes three sensibilities of happiness in Judaism: the prophetic life of struggle; the happiness of ashrei , with its life of simplicity in accordance with the will of God; and simchah , the life-lived-in-relationship given supreme expression in Moses's covenantal vision in the book of Deuteronomy. Focusing, in particular, on the social vision of Moses, the article explo…
The Dignity of Difference: Avoiding the Clash of Civilizations

This volume challenges the belief that the modern world is increasingly secular, showing that while modernization does have secularizing effects, it also provokes a reaction that more often strengthens religion. Seven expert social observers examine several geopolitical r…
One People?: Tradition, Modernity and Jewish Unity
This is the first book-length study of the major problem confronting the Jewish future: the availability or otherwise of a way of mending the schisms between Reform and Orthodox Judaism, between religious and secular Jews in Israel, and between Israel itself and the diaspora — all of which have been deepened by the fierce and continuing controversy over the question of ‘who is a Jew?’ The book studies the background to this and related controvers…
