I love this inventor of the term Eco-Kashruth's universalist outlook, yet remaining within the context of observant neo-Hasidic Judaism. What a way to reframe things. I also hope that this book will be heard, and will be part effectively in transforming human consciousness, as he is right, this is a most critical hour in human history.

While I did not give this book all of the attention it deserves, I did find the question that Green poses to be one worth pondering, rather than mere idle speculation as he puts it: what would have happened had no one responded Na'aseh ve Nishmah to the offer/threat of accepting Torah?
This was an interesting read, probably worth another look next year, particularly at locations 414-18 at 17% which seems to be marked 2426 on the very old Kindle I borrowed to read this, where he cites rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel saying that every person, every single living (why living and not also those who have already passed before us?) breathing human being is the image of G-d.
Hmmm...
Not sure I really want to agree with that...
