Yehuda Cohen, a Jew, was born in 1931 in the Land of Israel, which was then Palestine. He has been practicing as a lawyer since 1957 having received his LLM at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1955. For the past 7 years he has been a research student (for Ph. D) in the same University. He wrote a book about the judicial policy of the Supreme Court of Israel in regards to the principle of a Jewish state. He blamed the judges of that court for their breaching of the constitutional principle upon which Israel was founded, and for changing the character of Israel to a standard democratic state. The book was published in 2001 by the Israel Law Chamber, and managed to make its mark upon the Israeli political circles. It also piqued the interest of the academia involved in Israeli law, and became prescribed reading for the law degree that is taught in universities. The book is written in Hebrew.

The second book, in English, is about Religion at large, its power, by-products and functions, viewed at from a Socio- Anthropological angle. It seeks to expose new aspects of the value of religion, using these aspects as a framework through which we can relate to the terror events of September 11th.

The common link between the two books is their positive attitude to old traditions, to historical and sociological roots, and to spiritual values. Both these books release their readers from the fears and superstitions that are built into modernity.
