Challenging the public's negative perception of the Jewish religion's views on love, Naftali Rothenberg, a senior research fellow and Jewish Culture and Identity chair at the Van Leer Jerusalem Institute, shows his readers the fundamental ways in which love forms the foundation of Scriptural meditations on wisdom and achieving nearness with God. Rather than seeking to repress love as a significant part of human interaction, Rothenberg examines how Scripture celebrates love -- particularly love between men and women -- and uses this celebration to deepen our understanding of the love of people for their fellow man and God's love for his people.
