A champion of social justice, civil rights, and community relations, it is Rabbi Akselrad's steadfast devotion to diversity of opinion, and deep love of humanity, that characterize his world view.Raised in an observant Jewish family, Rabbi Akselrad discusses his personal evolution to Reform while maintaining a deep respect and love for tradition. Seeing the best in people, and attributing best intentions to them, Rabbi Akselrad sets himself apart from the throngs of ideologues and sets an example for all who come to know him. Pull up a chair and treat yourself to the stories and life lessons of this great humanitarian.". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by Lisa Akselrad. 1st ed? (No additional printings listed). Softcover.
