SIGNED simply Nathan Lopes Cardozo in blue in on title page. "Rabbi Cardozo discusses hot topics such as same-sex marriage, conversion, and religion in the State of Israel and presents a critical analysis and explanation of the application of halacha" (publisher). Jacket flap: Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Caredozo (b. 1946), hailing from the Portuguese Jewish Community in Amsterdam, is a philosopher and is often referred to as a "prophetic" halachist. He is the author of 13 books, and lectures in Jewish communities, yeshivot, and universities, in Israel and abroad. He studied for 12 years in ultra-Orthodox yeshivot, and after intensive studies in Jewish and general philosophy, carved out his own highly original approach to understanding Judaism. He is the founder and dean of the David Cardozo Academy in Jerusalem and its think tank, both of which focus on finding new halachic and philosophical approaches to dealing with the crisis of religion and identity among Jews and non-Jews - in Israel as well as in the Diaspora. Rabbi Cardozo is known for his fearlessness when presenting his insights into Judaism. ISBN 9789655242768.
