WHY BE DIFFERENT?
A Look into Judaism
By Janice Prager and Arlene Lepoff

Being Jewish can mean being different from other people. Sometimes it requires upholding values different from those taken for granted in our secular society. Adolescents in our religious schools are searching for answers to some troubling questions. Why Be Different? answers them: Does being the Chosen People make us better than other people? Can a "good Jew" question the existence of God? How can we believe in God when there is so much suffering in the world? Who decides what is right and what is wrong? What is the point of prayer?
