Like a Bundle of Reeds: why unity and mutual guarantee are today’s call of the hour sheds light on some of the Jews’ most daunting and mystifying questions: What is our role on this planet? Are we truly “the chosen people”? If we are, what were we chosen for? What is causing anti-Semitism, and can it be cured?

Self-Interest vs. Altruism in the Global Era regards the world’s challenges as necessary consequences of humanity’s growing egotism, rather than a series of errors. The book suggests ways to use our egos for society’s benefit, rather than trying to suppress them. The books offers a novel understanding of humanity’s existence on this planet, a birds-eye view of history as a record of humankind’s growing egotism, as well as a solution to our current social challenges.

Why are there so few rich, and so many poor? Why are education systems producing poorly educated children? Why is there hunger? Why are there still countries without social justice? We all long to feel safe and guarantee our children’s future. For this, we must begin to practice mutual guarantee, where all are guarantors of each other’s well-being. A Guide to the New World can help pave our way toward global transformation peacefully and pleasantly.
