We can all see the decline in honest, concern for others, idealism, responsibility for the community and the drive to have a life that makes the world a better place. Historically, religion has been the source of these values. Dr. Moshe Kaplan is continuing this tradition in the present volume by gathering together an all-star group of people with advanced secular education and profound religious commitment. Their articles explore good character from many perspectives: psychological, economic, philosophical, physical and more. This will provide food for thought and inspiration for those seeking a more meaningful approach to life. I wish Dr. Kaplan and his authors every success in inspiring people to raise their sights and lead more idealistic and meaningful lives.” Bostoner Rebbe
