Compiled by Dan Cohn-Sherbok, Harry Cook & Marilyn Rowens, A Life of Courage is both a biography of and a tribute to the remarkable life of Rabbi Sherwin T. Wine. founder of Humanistic Judaism. Wine began the movement of Humanistic Judaism in the early 1960s at The Birmingham Temple in suburban Detroit, Michigan, with the belief that secular Jewish culture and Jewish history shape people's identity as Jews, rather than their belief in God.
