Sinossi

In his clarion call for ethical behavior, Rabbi Hillel tells us, "In a place where there is no humanity, strive to be human." But what exactly does it mean to be human, especially in an age of rapid transformation? Striving to Be Human: Jewish Perspectives on Twenty-First-Century Challenges confronts this question with boldness, hope, and a foundation of Jewish wisdom. The volume begins with "Challenges from Within Us," addressing such topics as moral justice, belonging, queer theology, and good and evil. In part two, "Challenges from Beyond Us," the authors delve into artificial intelligence, robotics, reproductive technologies, and the animal-human relationship. The result is a profound conversation about Jewish values and human dignity in our evolving landscape.
