JL;DR SUMMARY Gary Rosenblatt presents three compelling book recommendations, each exploring different facets of Jewish life and thought.

At least, that was the handle his lovin' parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.

"And while that seems highly impractical in the U.S., for example, hundreds of years after the original sin of the British colonies settling in America, it is being applied to Israel, where every Jewish citizen is a fair target because none of them has a right to be there."
