Can a post-denominational, American Jew elucidate both spiritual and practical ways to self-struggle with our traditional Jewish faith in God? Michael Alan Ross uses his creative poetry, prose, and lyrics to construct modern midrashim and piyyutim, prosaic and poetic commentaries to meet such a challenge. Mr. Ross has the chutzpah, audacity, to look anew at some of our Jewish texts and experiences. As a modern, post-denominational, committed, American Jew, he seeks meaningful ways to struggle with our Jewish texts, rituals, good deeds, and beliefs. In his newly published, The Ten Commandments Guidebook, he offers many such ways. He also is author of BostonWalks' The Jewish Friendship Trail Guidebook - 6 Self-guided Jewish History Walk Tours of Downtown Boston. Here is an example of his original, exhortatory poem, From Atonement to Good Deeds, in light of the 7th Commandment, No adultery:

Which nation does God obligate? Which nation could take responsibility to abate? Where parents' crimes against humanity were great? Who murdered in the millions rate? Which nation has an opportunity to remonstrate? Who can stop evil's repetition before too late? Whose citizens, in the Holocaust, did participate? Which nation knows well stopping anti-Semitism can't wait? Whose leaders had a policy to annihilate? Which nation committed murder by a state? Which nation has the credibility to condemnate? Who best, suicide bombers and gas chambers, can equate? Which nation should proclaim Stop mate!? Which nation, Aushwitz, Treblinka, and Sobibor, did create? Which nation could teach radical Muslims not to hate? Who should teach love, need I reiterate?
