Author: Jonathan Sacks
Future Tense: A Vision for Jews and Judaism in the Global Culture is a work by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks that lays out a vision for the future of Judaism, Jewish life, and the State of Israel in the 21st-century. Sacks reviews the contribution that the Jewish faith and people have made in the development of modern civilization, spells out the ethical and spiritual challenges that need to be addressed, and argues that Jews and Judaism must renew their sense of hope and purpose to engage positively with the developing global culture.
