With his book On Judaism, Buber takes us on a journey into the heart of Judaism--its spirit, vision, and relevance to modern life.
"To read Martin Buber is to encounter an extraordinary soul--and to risk changing your life...Unique, exhilarating, profound."--David Wolpe, author of Why Be Jewish?
"How good it is to be reminded of the richness of Martin Buber's early thought, of his passion, of his power as a teacher, even as a prophet. This collection, with Rodger Kamenetz's foreword, will be of great value to all concerned with the revitalization of Judaism today."--Jonathan Omer-Man, Metivta Institute

Born in Vienna, and raised in Lemberg, Buber studied philosophy at the University of Berlin. Fleeing Nazi Germany in 1938, he emigrated to Israel, where he taught social philosophy at the Hebrew University until his retirement in 1951. He lived in Jerusalem until his death in 1965.
Also published by Schocken Books, Martin Buber’s work include: Israel and the World, The Legend of the Baal-Shem, The Letters Of Martin Buber, On the Bible, On Judaism, On Zion, Tales of the Hasidim, Ten Rungs, and Way of Response.

“To read Martin Buber is to encounter an extraordinary soul—and to rish changing your life . . . Unique, exhilarating, profound.” —David Wolpe, author of Why Be Jewish? “When as an adult I first found myself wrestling with God, Torah, and Judaism, someone handed me these essays of Martin Buber. I found them, and subsequently all of Buber’s work, speaking deeply and wisely to my life-situation, inviting me into a conversation that has continued through the quarter-century since. To anyone who is newly attracted to, or deeply involved in, Jewish renewal, I recommend them for at least a quarter-century’s worth of wonderful exploration.” —Arthur Waskow, author of Down-to-Earth Judaism “How good it is to be reminded of the richness of Martin Buber’s early thought, of his passion, of his power as a teacher, even as a prophet. This collection, with Rodger Kamenetz’s foreword, will be of great value to all concerned with the revitalization of Judaism today.” —Jonathan Omer-man, Metivta Institute
