Jewish ethics in a changing world

Organized in two parts—“Challenges from Within Us” and “Challenges from Beyond Us”—this collection brings Jewish perspectives to questions about human dignity amid rapid change. Its first section addresses moral justice, belonging, queer theology, and good and evil; the second turns to artificial intelligence, robotics, reproductive technologies, and relationships between humans and animals. Together, these subjects frame a broad inquiry into how Jewish wisdom can inform ethical reflection on both personal and social questions and emerging technologies.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers exploring contemporary Jewish ethics and Reform Jewish perspectives.
  • Readers interested in religious approaches to technology, reproductive questions, and human dignity.
  • Readers seeking essays or perspectives on belonging, justice, and queer theology.

Book overview

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.
