Beyond Belief

Countless books have been written on Jewish philosophy. But there’s one crucial element they inevitably overlook: Me. Yes, me, a human being replete with feelings and desires not always compatible with G-D’s design.

Say you can prove that G-d created the world and wants me to live a certain lifestyle. But what if I don't identify with that? Why let someone else dictate the way I run my life, even if that someone is G-d?

Enter Rabbi Yechezkel Sofer's groundbreaking and stimulating work.

Prepare to have your preconceived notions about G-D, the Torah, and Judaism flipped on their head Drawing from the timeless wisdom of classic Jewish philosophy and the wellspring of Chabad Chassidic thought, Rabbi Sofer presents a fresh, rational lens through which to contemplate: our age-old beliefs. Every topic, no matter how sensitive or controversial, is thoroughly examined —be it evolution, free will, the Holocaust, Zionism, or Moshiach.

Most importantly, in his engaging and inimitable style, the author guides you to see yourself and your passions in a whole new light, discovering how they fuse beautifully with the divine purpose of life

Beyond Belief is a thought-provoking and revolutionary work with page after page of insights for the rational mind. It invites you to take a new look at what you thought you knew about Judaism and encourages you to draw your own conclusions.
