For ten years, from one of the most prestigious pulpits in British Jewry, Rabbi Jeremy Gordon has been in search of the possibilities of living a religious life in an increasingly irreligious society.

It will challenge, move and inspire.Spiritual Vagabondary contains a selection of articles, lectures, sermons and other works drawn from ten years in the congregational rabbinate, grouped around a number of fields; Israel, Love, History, Science, Theology and Jewish Law. It also contains reflections on Rabbi Gordon's career, being a parent and a chapter on the founding Rabbi of the Synagogue he now serves, New London Synagogue - a community created out of the greatest controversy in Anglo-Jewish history - the Jacobs Affair.
