          to bring clarity to timeless questions relating to the very
          purpose of our existence while openly confronting such
          contemporary concerns as the Reform, Conservative and Orthodox
          divide. It argues that science and anti-religious philosophy
          are not responsible for the decline of Judaism; rather, it is
          those who teach Jewish law and custom as a dogmatic creed that
          make Judaism appear irrelevant to the needs and problems of
          modern man. He argues that Judaism must reflect deep compassion
          to recapture the flowing fountain of a glorious tradition.]
