Breaking the Tablets

In "Breaking the Tablets," renowned author David Weiss Halivni, a Holocaust survivor and esteemed Talmudic scholar, explores the profound challenges of faith in the aftermath of the Shoah. Published by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc in 2007, this thought-provoking hardback spans 144 pages and delves into the complex relationship between Judaism and the divine during times of despair.

"Breaking the Tablets" is an essential read for anyone interested in Christian theology, Jewish thought, and the resilience of faith in the face of historical suffering.
