Gathered over twenty years of writing, this anthology examines the many crises and challenges of the 21st century – from polarisation to asylum seekers, loneliness to climate change. Rabbi Genende also offers wise reflection on the moral and ethical tasks we all must face.

Thought-provoking and humane, this is a collection for anyone – believer or atheist – in need of meaning in a complex, turbulent time.

In praise of Living in an Upside-Down World:

“This is a work that is both consciousness-raising and provocative. I found it mesmerising.”
CAROLE SCHWARTZ AO
“Rabbi Genende is a shining example of reason, humility and hope.”
Hon. JOSH FRYDENBERG
“I felt so much richer after reading this volume.”
RACHAEL KOHN AO
“His words carry us on a spiritual and physical journey that captures the universal
experience of life (and death) through its moorings in a distinctive Jewish tradition.”
MARK RAPHAEL BAKER, Author of The Fiftieth Gate
