New from the Jewish Publication Society: Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices -- Power
By Elliot N. Dorff (editor), Louis E. Newman (editor) http://www.jewishpub.org/product.php?id=311 This JPS ethics series deals with some of the most critical moral issues of our time. How do we use power once we've gained it? Is it completely for our individual benefit, or do we use it to help our neighborhoods, or society at-large? What kinds of decisions must CEOs and business owners make regarding suppliers and customers? How should bosses treat workers? Teachers treat students? Parents treat children? Government treats citizens? Power dynamics affect people on a political level, a social level, and a deeply personal level as well. The newest volume in the Jewish Choices, Jewish Voices series examines these dynamics and includes essays by such fine contributors as U.S. Representative Henry Waxman, NBC Universal Television-West Coast President Marc Graboff, and author and scholar James Diamond. Elliot N. Dorff is the author of three JPS books on Jewish ethics: To Do the Right and the Good, Love Your Neighbor and Yourself, and Matters of Life and Death. He is Rector and Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the American Jewish University of Los Angeles. Dorff serves on a number of national boards and committees dealing with Jewish ethics and is the chairman of the Committee of Jewish Law and Standards of the Rabbinical Assembly. Louis E. Newman is the John M. and Elizabeth W. Musser Professor of Religious Studies and the director of Judaic Studies at Carleton College, and the author of Past Imperatives: Studies in the History and Theory of Jewish Ethics. He is completing An Introduction to Jewish Ethics, a college textbook.
