Can a modern, post-denominational, committed, American Jew find meaningful ways to struggle with our Ten Commandments?Michael Alan Ross, author of the newly published, The Ten Commandments Guidebook, offers many such ways. Mr. Ross, author of BostonWalks' The Jewish Friendship Trail Guidebook - 6 Self-guided Jewish History Walk Tours of Downtown Boston, now has written The Ten Commandments Guidebook as a spiritual invitation to the Ten Commandments. In The Ten Commandments Guidebook, Mr. Ross offers a personal and creative perspective of the Ten Commandments by means of his original poetry, prose, and song lyrics. His writings are drawn from a lifetime of Jewish American experiences. As an example, see below, Michael Alan Ross' original acrostic poem, Anti-Semite a creative modern definition of an Anti-Semite in light of the 6th Commandment, You shall not murder. |

Mr. Ross' poetry about the Ten Commandments, his prosaic warm memories
of family life, and his lyrical voicing of social concerns can be called
by the Hebrew words piyyutim and midrashim, poems and commentaries,
which offer uplifting, spiritual and, sometimes, challenging
interpretations.
In addition, Mr. Ross offers many suggestions for the reader to consider
in struggling with the Ten Commandments, making this Guidebook a fine
teaching tool, usable not only for its inspirational reading but also
for its suggestions of good deeds.
