Title: The Emperor's New Clothes;Again
Review: There is no requirement that Jews take Judaism seriously-and there is also no reason-or requirement to define Judaism without God-or to use the title,'Judaism Beyond God' as Judaism in any sense.Sherwin Wine,who was ordained as a Reform rabbi,came to believe that God is irrelevent to Judaism-and founded "Humanistic Judaism",marketing himself on TV talk shows and the local Detroit Jewish News(currently JN)-and is unfortunately taken seriously-but not by PT Barnum.Fans of his,with any sense of consistency,hopefully also believe that The Constitution should be irrelevent to lawyers. If anything,this book-written in the eighties- formally solidifies Wine-who believes that God is irrelevent-as one of the three most overrated Jews of all-time ,along with Spinoza(God and nature are the same)and "Rabbi"Mordecai Kaplan,founder of "Reconstructionist Judaism",who believed that 'God is a cosmic Process.' Buy the book by Hans Christian Andersen,instead.
