Can a post-denominational, American Jew elucidate both spiritual and practical ways to self-struggle with our Ten Commandments? In this book, Mr. Ross uses his creative poetry, prose, and lyrics to construct modern midrashim and piyyutim, prosaic and poetic commentaries, to meet such a challenge. Rabbi Ellen Pildis, a post-denominational rabbi, offers praise of his text on the book's back cover. New Guidebook Re-Visits The Ten Commandments 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, his original, humorous, satirical song lyrics, Please keep us wealthy!, considers the 8th Commandment in the following verses:

Please keep us wealthy! © Michael Alan Ross 2004-2007. All rights reserved. (Suggestion: Sing to the melody of Battle Hymn of the Republic) On TV, I’m watching re-runs of those shows from good old days, Bible-thumping, old-boy-network, nasty-naughty-knaves, Teaching me to follow all their 10 commandment ways. Doubt not what they say. They admonish, loud and clear, that they will never steal, Ardently, professing ‘bout its wonderful appeal, Except for stealing where the goal’s the Presidential seal. Doubt not what they say. (chorus) God, oh God, please keep us wealthy, Lots of money makes us healthy. It’s better to make money than to give a damn. Hurray for Uncle Sam! Exercise your worship of the one almighty God, When you pray, your God’s beside you with his staff and rod, Let’s fund faith-based-programs, we know God will give his nod. Doubt not what they say. You must love your parents and the size of their estate, Disrespecting marks you as a horrible ingrate. Thank mom, dad, and money, thank them for your bless’d fate. Doubt not what they say. (chorus) God, oh God, please keep us wealthy, Lots of money makes us healthy. It’s better to make money than to give a damn. Hurray for Uncle Sam! New missiles, they are needed for the sake of our defense, For weapons great for business, we should never spare expense. That the world should fear America makes lots and lots of sense. Doubt not what they say. Abortions are taboo like labor strikes and minimum wage, Unnecessary vestiges of other day and age. Deny their value based upon the same cold money gauge. Doubt not what they say. (chorus) God, oh God, please keep us wealthy, Lots of money makes us healthy. It’s better to make money than to give a damn. Hurray for Uncle Sam! Business works much better minus rules and regulation, Trees turn into paper faster absent limitation. Buyers must beware, caveat emptor’s restoration. Doubt not what they say. Energy source means excavate for oil and for coal, West Virginia and Alaska each one giant hole. Harming lands okay to reach the old-boy-network’s goal. Doubt not what they say. (chorus) God, oh God, please keep us wealthy, Lots of money makes us healthy. It’s better to make money than to give a damn. Hurray for Uncle Sam!
