In His Image
At a time when religion is distorted to crush, belittle, and negate Man, when personal responsibility is replaced by passive faith, and human endeavor is deemed unworthy,ย In His Image ย seeks to reinstate one of the fundamental truths of Judaism: the creation of Man in the image of God. Rabbi Yuval Cherlow explores the significance of Manโs divine image, and its far-reaching halakhic, ethical, psychological, and existential implications. Rather than demeaning, argues Cherlow, Judaism is based on the profound glorification of Man, his strengths and freedoms, rights and responsibilities. A manifesto of Jewish humanism.
