Wrestling in the Daylight:
A Rabbi's Path to Palestinian Solidarity

(Signed Copy!)



"Wrestling in the Daylight" is an insightful conversation on Zionism initiated by Rabbi Brant Rosen, a prominent Jewish activist from Chicago, on his social-justice blog Shalom Rav. After Israel’s brutal military attack on Gaza in 2008-2009, Rosen began to question his lifelong Zionist beliefs. Unlike the biblical Jacob, who wrestled with his conscience in the dark of night, Rosen chose to "wrestle in the daylight" with this issue through many thoughtful essays on his blog. In this selection of content from Shalom Rav, Rosen includes both his own posts and those of his online commenters, granting readers unique insight into the largest controversy facing the American Jewish community today. In the new introduction he has written for this second edition, Rosen updates the story of the “wrestling” that both he and the American Jewish community have undertaken in recent years.

Songs After the Revolution: New Jewish Liturgy

 

"Brant Rosen delivers a powerful poetic witness to the deeply troubling outcome of Jewish nationalism while, in true prophetic tradition, lifts up his fierce love of our humanity. This work infuses Jewish holy days with the courageous truth that liturgy requires to sustain us through these challenging times."
    -- Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb, author of “She Who Dwells Within” and “A World Beyond Borders Haggadah”

"A prayer book for radicals by a post-Zionist Rabbi who urges us to look deeply at our false piety and communal hypocrisy in American and Palestine. Brant Rosen has penned an unrepentant demand for justice and for the heavenly kingdom on earth where "we’ll make sure there’s room for all.'"
    -- Kevin Coval, poet and author of “A People’s History of Chicago”
