Gelernter: The Correlation Between Jews And Non-Jewish

Gelernter is a professor of computer science at Yale University. Gelernter had an incident where his right hand and eye get damaged because somebody sent him a package that he believed was a doctoral dissertation but it wasn’t, it was a bomb sent by Ted Kaczynski who the FBI dubbed the Unabomber. According to WNET (2010), "Gelernter presents himself as a local guide to the faith, offering to lead Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike into what he calls “the inner courtyard” of Judaism to see what cannot be seen from the outside." Gelernter grew up in a Jewish family, his grandpa was a rabbi. He have a master degree in Hebrew Bible and computer science. According to LEFKOWITZ (2010), "With "separation" (between Jew and non-Jew, the Sabbath and
the weekday, the holy and the impure), Mr. Gelernter explains why Judaism is not just a matter of finding a personal relationship with God but also of leading a life governed by Jewish law, which "covers everything from weddings to legal procedure in criminal cases." In the chapter about veil, Gelernter explains how we should love God with all our hearts no matter what. Gelernter (2009), "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might"( Deuteronomy 6:5) (pg.63). Furthermore, in the fourth chapter of Judaism: A Way of Being, the gives his personal opinion about homosexuality. He wrote that rabbis rarely discussed anything about homosexual. Gelernter (2009), "Nowadays the issue has moved near the top of our ethical, social, and political agenda, and no community is free to ignore it; none can avoid pondering it." (pg.91).
