The author's goal was to present to his congregants and readers a fundamental understanding and appreciation of many of the topics of contemporary Judaism. Prominently discussed are such themes as Israel and its implications regarding the rebuilding of the Holy Temple, the Jewish concepts of conversion, confession, marriage, prophesy and dreams. The text also delves into the philosophical foundations of human relations and prayer, searching for the common denominator which marks the Jewish faith as a 'beacon of light' to humanity.
