In RENEWAL, Rabbi Shmuley shows readers how to use the following timeless values of Judaism to live a more fulfilling, modern life:
· Destiny. No human life is predetermined. Each of us possesses the freedom of choice.
· Redemption. Focus on the impact you have on this world rather than the hereafter. The betterment of the community must always outweigh personal salvation.
· Enlightenment. Education must not simply be a means to an end. We have an obligation to be ennobled through intellectual adventure, to widen the horizons of the spirit by a lifelong quest to know.
· Action. What you do is more important that what you believe. The concept of mitzvah – good deeds, righteous actions – is the most central Jewish value of all.
· Marriage. Marriage is an obligation that teaches men to be less militaristic and more nurturing and peaceful.
· Struggle. It is wrestling with our nature, rather than attaining perfection, in which we achieve true righteousness.
· Sacred Time. The exaltation of time over space. Objects are always subordinate to precious moments.
