More about the book

Exploring the complexities of Hinduism's classification as Avoda Zara, the author challenges traditional Jewish perspectives on idolatry. By examining the historical context of Judaism's relationship with Christianity, the book redefines what constitutes idolatry and advocates for recognizing the divine across different faiths. Through thought-provoking questions, it shifts the discourse from a simplistic view of Hinduism to a nuanced understanding that acknowledges both idolatrous and non-idolatrous elements in all religions, promoting a more inclusive approach to interfaith recognition.
