What happened
Rabbi Yitz Greenberg has released a new collection of essays titled Life Against Death, a 2-volume set that reflects on his most important writings from 1965 to 2025. The essays cover topics such as America, Israel, the Holocaust, and Jewish-Christian relations, and identify key turning points in Jewish life.
The collection includes never-before-published essays, such as The Religious Significance of the State of Israel and Israel and World Jewry After October 7. Greenberg's work is praised by notable figures, including Irwin Cotler, Rabbi Sharon Brous, and Alan Dershowitz, for its moral clarity, theological daring, and commitment to life.
The essays are divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on America and Israel, and the second volume exploring the Holocaust and Jewish-Christian relations. Greenberg's reflections offer a deeply humane theology, forged in catastrophe and tested by power, and animated by responsibility and hope.
