"What does it mean when we say that human beings are created in the image of G-d (B’tzelem El-him)? Since its appearance in the first book of Torah, Jewish (and non-Jewish) commentators have interpreted the meaning of this statement."

@jhvonline explores Rabbi Irving 'Yitz' Greenberg's interpretation of this question in its review of his magnum opus, The Triumph of Life: A Narrative Theology of Judaism:

"Greenberg’s vision is one in which human beings grow ever more responsible for world repair. He calls on us to redirect humanity’s unprecedented power in modernity to overcome poverty, oppression, inequality, sickness and war."

While “Jewish leaders fantasize about completely reorganizing the system” of communal life, they ignore “the value of institutional reliability,” explains @HadarInstitute CEO Elie Kaunfer. How, then, can necessary change be made?https://t.co/1DJzm4BnKP

JPS is honored to announce the publication of The Triumph of Life, Rabbi Irving Greenberg's magnum opus—a narrative of the relationship between God and humanity as expressed in the Jewish journey through modernity, the Holocaust, the creation of Israel, and the birth of Judaism's next era.

Greenberg describes Judaism's utopian vision of a world created by a God who loves life, who invites humans to live on the side of life, and who enables the forces of life to triumph over death. The Bible proclaims our mission of tikkun olam, repairing the world, such that every human image of God is sustained in the fullness of our dignity. To achieve this ideal, Judaism offers the method of covenant—a realistic, personal, incremental partnership between God and humanity across generations in which human beings grow ever more responsible for world repair.

“The Triumph of Life is exhilarating. A culmination of a lifetime of theological reflection from the visionary thinker Rabbi Irving Greenberg, it offers us a stunning portrait of the Jewish tradition as a grand drama in which God and the Jewish people dream together of a perfect world and work painstakingly to bring it about. Read this book and you will never see the Jewish tradition the same way again.”—Rabbi Shai Held, president and dean at @HadarInstitute and author of The Heart of Torah

Winner of the @natanfund's Natan Prize, 2024
The Natan Fund is honored to award Rabbi Irving 'Yitz' Greenberg and The Triumph of Life the Natan Prize in recognition of his enormous contributions—writings, teachings, and leadership—to Jewish life and learning over many decades, many of which are distilled in this inspiring book.
