Noa Kushner
Many of us long for spiritual belonging and connection, only to run up against our confusion and discomfort with organized religion. Noa Kushner understands this well. As the founding rabbi of The Kitchen, a groundbreaking Jewish congregation in San Francisco, she has helped thousands of people into a relationship with religion they never thought they would or could experience.
In this concise, soul-stirring book, Kushner offers a picture of religion not as something we design or consume, but as something we enter, just as we are. What if we temporarily set aside statements of belief and instead approach religion as something we do? Kushner proposes we can then pursue the profound questions this perspective reveals. How is prayer supposed to work? Which comes first, religion or ethics? Why should we be religious? Through imaginative storytelling and a plainspoken, accessible teaching of Jewish sources, as well as hard-won lessons from her own rabbinate, Kushner creates an elegant, thoughtful guide for anyone who has wondered about the limits of today’s secular worldview and is curious about what religion might have to offer. Written in a Jewish idiom but open to readers of all backgrounds, Pretend You Believe is a powerful meditation on God and humanity, responsibility and forgiveness, love and doubt, progress and justice. With this book, Kushner has captured the wonder of religious feeling and inscribed an invitation to readers everywhere.

Commentaires
“A tour de force. It is rare to read a book that is so contemporary and at the same time so unwaveringly true to the complex demands of Jewish tradition. The way Rabbi Kushner transfigures philosophical and theological ideas into the immediacy of her narrative is extraordinary. Her voice, full of energy and movement, becomes the vehicle for profundity. Witty and lyrical, blunt and tender, often spiritually evocative, this voice takes one on a journey into a vivid world of texts and traditions. Here, the individual, the community, and God lend life to one another. Irresistible reading, highly recommended.” —Avivah Gottlieb Zornberg, author of The Murmuring Deep
“Insightful, wise, and inviting, Pretend You Believe teaches that belief, like love, has to be experienced to be understood. Rabbi Kushner helps us ‘try on’ a religious worldview, to see through the eyes of our ancestors and reorient away from competition and toward the ultimate, unknowable mystery of God. Let yourself be surprised by what you discover with Rabbi Kushner as your guide.” —Casper ter Kuile, author of The Power of Ritual
"Pretend You Believe is the door for those who wonder if religion might be calling them. Rabbi Kushner's humane approach emphasizes immersion, practice, and honest, personal questions—not intellectual distance but something richer, deeper, and braver. She playfully guides even the most hardened skeptics to the ancient, beautiful, imperfect wisdom of religion." —Elizabeth Oldfield, author of Fully Alive
