The Jewish people is the holy Torah, which lights our way in the darkness of exile. This book is written to give some general idea of the Jewish approach to various phenomena and events, the usual and unusual .....
In the beginning of the way a person looks at the world with wide open eyes and sees him many secrets. In his youth, everyone thinks about infinity stellar spaces, wonders of nature, the paradoxes of history, the mystery of life and death and the other eternal questions of life. But as the years go by, we grow up, there are more mundane and immediate care. We often look at the ground, than the stars and the eternal questions are secondary. Sometimes it seems that you can quite happily do without them. But sometimes a person suddenly raises his eyes and sees: the world is still full of mysteries, and we still do not know the answers to the eternal questions. And who's to say whether we live in? What is the meaning of our lives? All this in the proposed book.
The author argues that the truth is conceived primarily not through science, logic and reason - the truth only comes with faith. In a lively and accessible form reveals an inextricable link God to the Jewish people.
