Twenty-nine chapters of text and over 40 art images discuss religious observance, God, and Jewish life in America, Israel, and elsewhere, post-Holocaust and post-9/11. The art images discuss many of the same philosophical topics and concerns that the author, a religiously observant, agnostic, entrepreneur, and philanthropist addresses in his text.
