About the Book
An index of meaning, not of belief.
God Index: From Myth to System is a modern rationalist interpretation of Judaism, religion, and the idea of God.
The book challenges the traditional view of God as a supernatural being and proposes a different framework: God as the emergent Index of cohesion — normative and collective — that organizes values, law, memory, identity, responsibility, and social cohesion.
Through Jewish philosophy, science, sociology, neuroscience, Halakhah, history, and modern secular thought, God Index examines how Judaism functioned for centuries as more than a religion. It was a civilizational structure: a system of continuity, discipline, ethics, ritual, law, education, and collective survival.
The book explores key questions:
- Can Judaism remain meaningful without magical thinking?
- Can the idea of God be understood without supernatural claims?
- What role did Halakhah play as a normative operating system for Jewish life?
- How do rituals, symbols, myths, and collective narratives preserve identity?
- Why does atheism alone not replace moral structure, community, or meaning?
- How can Jewish tradition be reinterpreted in the scientific age?
God Index does not seek to destroy Judaism or reduce it to folklore. It proposes a rational, secular, and intellectually honest way to understand Jewish identity, tradition, peoplehood, Zionism, and moral responsibility in the modern world.
This is a book for readers interested in Jewish philosophy, rationalist Judaism, secular Judaism, religion and science, modern Zionism, Halakhah, civilization, and the future of Jewish identity.
