Media Reviews
Finally, someone in the Jewish world has the courage to say what needs to be said. Dan Cohn-Sherbok, with his usual lucidity and analytic skills, has demonstrated that Messianic Jews have the right to be included in the Jewish people. The path to his conclusion is filled with fascinating historical and confessional revelations. -Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine, The Birmingham Temple, Farmington Hills, Michigan
