About the Author:
Nachum Amsel is the director of education at the Destiny Foundation and the author of The Jewish Encyclopedia of Moral and Ethical Issues.

Praise of Encyclopedia of Jewish Values:
"While much attention and scholarship over the ages of Jewish history has been invested in the halachic and ritual aspects of Jewish life there is a void, and even misconceptions abound regarding the Torah’s view of ethics and societal mores. This book has come to fill that void and correct many of the errors of judgment regarding true and traditional Jewish views on many issues of society that trouble the modern world. It is well written, concise and logical in its approach and the reader will be supremely impressed by the obvious wealth of research that went into its writing and publication.

Rabbi Amsel has combined scholarship and readability, insight and factual text in this work. Modern medical and personal issues and general topics, even gun control for instance, are discussed and explained. This is a wonderful research book that can be read directly as an informative and necessary work of knowledge about Judaism and the Jewish attitudes towards the moral and ethical issues of general and Jewish society. This is a book for every Jewish home and school."
–Rabbi Berel Wein
