For ten years, from one of the most prestigious pulpits in British Jewry, Rabbi Jeremy Gordon has been in search of the possibilities of living a religious life in an increasingly irreligious society.

It will challenge, move and inspire. Spiritual Vagabondary contains a selection of articles, lectures, sermons and other works drawn from ten years in the congregational rabbinate, grouped around a number of fields; Israel, Love, History, Science, Theology and Jewish Law.
