Pluralism holds that there is no one "right" way of thinking, believing, practicing, or living in the world. Pluralists believe there are many different ways espoused by many different people, and we have something to learn from everyone—even and especially those with whom we disagree. The essays in this volume, based on selected Torah portions and Jewish holidays, examine current and historical events, democracy, Israel, antisemitism, power, religion, and modern culture through the lens of both Jewish and secular scholarship. Each of Rabbi Stoller’s primary essays is accompanied by a davar acher (alternate viewpoint) by a prominent Reform Jewish clergy member or scholar, demonstrating pluralistic discourse in action.

This book is an ideal resource for Torah study, discussion groups, and anyone interested in learning about current issues through a Jewish lens.
