How Do I Decide?

Our Jewish tradition offers unique insights into the problems confronting young people today. This accessible volume uses both personal experience and case studies to address such contemporary issues as substance abuse, suicide, premarital sex, aging, divorce, AIDS, and intermarriage. The Torah, Talmud, and other traditional authorities, along with contemporary Jewish commentators, provide examples to stimulate discussion of each issue. Students discover how our Jewish heritage can help us strengthen family relationships and fulfill our communal responsibilities.
