Who Stole My Religion? by Richard H Schwartz
Who Stole My Religion? is a wake up call to Jews to apply Judaism s powerful teachings on justice, peace, compassion, kindness, and environmental sustainability to help shift our imperiled planet onto a sustainable path. It extols Judaism, arguing that Judaism is a radical, transformative religion, but many Jews, especially Orthodox Jews, are in denial about climate change and are supporting conservative politicians and policies that are inconsistent with Jewish values. Richard Schwartz provides a thought-provoking read, and he demonstrates that the future of humanity depends on Jews applying Judaism s highest values in response to today s crises.
For many years now, Richard Schwartz has been a clear, unwavering voice for a more compassionate, more humane and holier JudaismWho Stole My Religion? offers Jews and non-Jews alike a critique of many of the unhappy trends in the Jewish world today and an authentic and inspirational view of what traditional Judaism is and should be.

No one has been more creative, committed, and consistent than Richard Schwartz in arguing for a Judaism that can address in all its depth the world crisis that all humanity and all the life-forms of our planet face today. Rabbi Arthur Waskow, director, The Shalom Center; author, Down-to-Earth Judaism , Seasons of Our Joy

With so many people apparently oblivious of the climate catastrophe the world is rapidly approaching, Who Stole My Religion? is a breath of fresh air. I hope this excellent book will be widely read and its message heeded, helping fulfill Dr. Schwartz's dream of shifting our imperiled world to a sustainable path.
