What is Contemporary Orthodox Judaism's Response to Modernity about?

<p>Freundel (rabbinics, Baltimore Hebrew U.; Georgetown U. Law School), the rabbi of a modern Orthodox synagogue in Washington, DC, expands his sermon on Jewish law that was cited in Vice President Dan Quayle's Murphy Brown harangue on family values. Topics discussed include beginning- and end-of-life issues. Annotation &copy;2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR</p> <h3>Publishers Weekly</h3> <p>Freundel, who counts former presidential candidate Joe Lieberman among his Washington, D.C., congregants, invites readers, Jewish and non-Jewish, to gain a better understanding of Jewish law, tradition and belief in his succinct but thorough analyses of 31 different topics crucial to Orthodox Judaism, such as teshuvah (repentance), Israel, prayer and Shabbat and Kashrut. Each chapter summarizes the central sources upon which the Halakhah (Jewish law) is based in clear, understandable terms and explains the development of the tradition as well as its practical application in today's world. Additionally, Freundel provides all the relevant Orthodox opinions on the matter, including those that he or the law ultimately rejects, and elucidates how and why Jewish law maintains its ancient positions
