About This Book
The question isn¿t whether grace¿ God¿s love freely given¿is there for you in Judaism. The question is, do you have the courage to accept it?

This fascinating foray into God¿s love freely given offers the reader a way to answer that question in the affirmative. Drawing from ancient and contemporary, traditional and
Our Review
This compelling exploration of divine grace within Judaism challenges the common misconception that God's unconditional love isn't central to Jewish tradition. Rabbi Rami Shapiro masterfully guides readers through ancient texts and contemporary sources, revealing how chesed—loving-kindness—operates as freely given divine grace throughout Jewish theology. The book reframes the conversation from whether grace exists in Judaism to whether we possess the courage to accept this radical gift of unconditional love.
What makes this work particularly powerful is its invitation to experience Judaism through the lens of grace rather than obligation, offering a transformative perspective for seekers across denominations. Both questioning Jews and spiritual explorers from other traditions will find profound wisdom in this accessible yet deeply scholarly treatment of divine compassion. Shapiro ultimately provides not just intellectual understanding but a practical pathway to living with the liberating awareness of being fully loved.
