One rooted not in suspicion, but in faith—not blind faith, but a trust in the possibility of connection beyond difference?  One Family Indivisible  explores this very crossroads. Author Steven Greenebaum invites us on a journey through his life—one shaped by spiritual curiosity and a deep desire to find common ground in a divided world.

At the heart of this journey is a question: Do we let our judgments define others before we know them? Or can we choose faith—not just in the divine, but in one another? This book doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, it offers something more valuable: a model for living that embraces Interfaith understanding, mutual respect,...
