Judaism Inside Out eloquently evokes the power of the spirituality of Israel. Far more than a nation-state, Israel is a way of human living. At a time when human violence threatens life itself, Jews all over the world are called to reclaim the spiritual purposes of their lives.
This is an important book for Jews and non-Jews alike, a challenge for religious pluralists of all traditions to seize the opportunity to redefine contemporary political discourse. Exposing the bigotry of religious and national fundamentalism, Judaism Inside Out reclaims for religion a politics based on the personal quest for self-respect and mutual acceptance.

Judaism Inside Out: Reclaiming the Promise of Israel
This book fits so squarely within my intellectual interests it's silly. Like I've mentioned before, I think I'm a bit more demanding on academic books. I'm really looking for a solid, cohesive argument, and "Torns at the Roots" didn't 100% get there.
BUT: It was engagingly written for an academic book (the worst I could say is that the word "ambivalent" appeared here about 40 too many times) and Staub covers all sorts of different, interesting topics in a logical way. You can clearly see how arguments over civil rights moved into ones over Vietnam moved into ones over women's lib, etc etc. It's an intellectual history, so this is basically a summary of back-and-forth arguments. He said/she said stuff. But, to me at least, it was fascinating, and I really appreciated all the nuance re: what Jewishness means. That nuance is definitely something I'm hungry for in my personal life, so I really enjoyed the read overall.
