Where Law Burns with Love

For centuries, Judaism has been mischaracterized as a religion of law rather than love. In Judaism Is About Love, Rabbi Shai Held reclaims the heart of Jewish theology and practice — love.

A National Jewish Book Award Finalist (2024), this powerful and deeply learned work explores how love flows through Jewish tradition: God’s love for humanity, humanity’s love for God, the command to love our neighbor and the stranger, and even the difficult challenge of loving our enemies.

With intellectual rigor and emotional honesty, Held navigates biblical texts, rabbinic literature, Hasidic teachings, philosophy, and psychology. Yet despite its scholarship, the book remains accessible and deeply personal. This is theology with a heartbeat — thoughtful, demanding, and profoundly human.

Held reminds us that love in Judaism is not merely a feeling. It is a worldview. A responsibility. A way of living.
