Illustrates the Depth & Sensitivity of Jewish Law & Thought
At last, a posek (a recognized expert in Jewish law) and author of three volumes of Responsa, has written a book illustrating the depth and sensitivity of Jewish law and thought in addressing crucial issues of our time. Rabbi Yehuda Henkin fearlessly confronts modern as well as timeless questions. His original interpretations and views are solidly based upon traditional sources and the oral transmission of the enlightened spirit of Judaism.
In Equality Lost, Rabbi Henkin teaches how to extract the straight-forward explanation (peshat) in the Torah and demonstrates how to interpret Halacha in regard to women in the age of feminism, the conversion to Judaism of children in non-observant homes, and the killing of captured terrorists. Readers will immediate recognize the direct, sensible, and authentically Jewish evaluations of current phenomena such as the glatt kosher craze. In addition, the author provides fresh and unsettling insights into the reasons for the destruction of the Second Temple, the lessons to be learned therefrom, and the ramifications of these lessons for the modern State of Israel.

Equality Lost: Essays in Torah Commentary, Halacha and Jewish Thought
Thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I value the work the author put into researching and writing it. The myth that the Nazis were anti-christian, pagan, or even atheist is far too common even among educated people. On the whole, the author provides strong evidence that the Nazi regime was either Christian or at least highly supportive of Christianity. The issues were far more with the contradictions of protestantism and Catholicism than Christianity itself. Many members also had problems with the institutions of Christianity, but not the religion itself. There was a pagan faction with Nazism, but its influence is highly exaggerated. There was absolutely no Atheist faction. Hitler's Table Talks are often used as definitive proof that Hitler was not Christian, but closer examination shows this is far less clear. While he did heavily criticize Christianity at times, he also still highly praised Jesus as a warrior against Jewish Materialism. Overall, excellent history. Highly recommend.
