Yehuda Kurtzer, President of The Shalom Hartman Institute of North America and Fellow of the iEngage Project, is an accomplished lecturer and thinker on major challenges facing contemporary Jewish life. He served as the inaugural Chair of Jewish Communal Innovation at Brandeis University, earned his doctorate from Harvard in Jewish Studies. In Shuva, Kurtzer offers a roadmap for revitalizing the connection between the Jewish people and their past emphasizing biblical narrative as the core of being Jewish, regardless of historical accuracy. The book's subtitle, "The Future of the Jewish Past," advances Kurtzer's premise: to look at the history-memory dynamic as the way toward the Jewish future; Kurtzer's preference: "investing in the humanity in our stories (memory) which echo in our souls."
