Cover of Judaism For Everyone

IFSHJ has now published a wonderful new book on secular Judaism by Dr. Bernardo Sorj: Judaism for Everyone ... without Dogma. We are honored to present an international view of secular Judaism from a significant humanistic Jewish voice outside of both the United States and Israel. 
An important strength of international organizing is the subtle difference in approach from different parts of the world.  Dr. Sorj shows why we need these perspectives.
