by : Nachum Amsel I ISBN 978-1-60280-310-7 I Hardcover, 592 pages I Urim Publications and Ktav Publishing, 2018

A continuation to his widely praised Encyclopedia of Jewish Values, Rabbi Nachum Amsel presents as organized compendium of Jewish values and ethics that deal with human interaction. The topics addressed in this work include Jewish attitudes to leadership, business ethics, modesty with dress, self-defense, peer pressure, family, friendships, and more. Gleaning from the Bible and classic Jewish texts, as well as later authorities such as Maimonides, Nachmanides, Rashi, and the Code of Jewish Law, this work is accessible to readers of many backgrounds.

About the Author:
Rabbi Dr. Nachum Amsel is the director of education at the Destiny Foundation and the author of The Jewish Encyclopedia of Moral and Ethical Issues and The Encyclopedia of Jewish Values.

Praise for Encyclopedia of Jewish Values:

"He makes the point that he is not concerned with Jewish law, over which there have always been many disputes, nor Jewish thought, in which there are multiple viewpoints and divergent customs, but rather with values, the deeper, underlying set of moral principles that guide our overall lives and keep them clean and correct... Rabbi Amsel's writing is clear and factual, his tone reserved and intellectual…. making this book appealing to a wide audience….”

- Linda F. Burghardt, Jewish Book Council

"[T]he essays contain so much material, rich in depth and breadth, full of insight and contemporary relevance...it is a gold mine of Jewish values...Rabbi Amsel has a knack for finding interesting, relevant topics. This book is a vast resource of expert Jewish analysis on timely subjects."

- Rabbi Gil Student, Jewish Action

"This is a wonderful research book that can be read directly as an informative and necessary work of knowledge about Judaism and the Jewish attitudes towards the moral and ethical issues of general and Jewish society. This is a book for every Jewish home and school."

- Rabbi Berel Wein
