Nachum Amsel, Aronson, 1994
Nachum Amsel, who is well known for original teaching materials, has produced a most useful guide to the key moral issues that beset the modern world. Each of the 71 subjects is treated in two parts – the first is a essay in several pages. This appears in English, with references in footnotes. The back part of the book revisits all 71 subjects, providing in Hebrew all the sources mentioned in the original essay. As such, the book is suitable and most useful for the layman, as well as for the scholar, who will find a wealth of pertinent material for any subject, good enough to use as a shiur. Amsel covers such subjects as cults, civil disobedience, parental responsibility to children, ugliness, triage, prejudice by Jews, snitching and telling lies. A useful addition to a Jewish library, this encyclopaedia will interest readers of all ages over about ten.
