A how-to for Jewish spirituality that works.
"A spiritual seeker is a person whose soul is awake. In this book I make no assumptions about how much you know about Judaism, what holidays you keep, or whether you believe in God. I want us to start from your soul's experience and carry on from there."—from the Introduction
“Virtually anyone remotely affiliated with Judaism should read this book,” wrote
Publishers Weekly
, which listed
Jewish with Feeling
among its Best Religion Books of the Year. “Without question the best, most readable introduction to Reb Zalman’s philosophy of Judaism, it is also the best beginner’s guide to Jewish spirituality available today,” wrote the
Forward
, “the perfect book for both the spiritual seeker and the curious skeptic.”
Taking off from basic questions like “Why be Jewish?” and whether the word
God
still speaks to us today, Reb Zalman lays out a vision for a whole-person Judaism. This is not only Sinai
then
but Sinai
now
, a revelation of the Torah inside and all around us. Complete with many practical suggestions to enrich your own Jewish life,
is “a mystical masterpiece filled with spiritual practices and an exciting vision of the future”
(Spirituality & Health
). Spiritual experience, as Reb Zalman shows, repays every effort we make to acquire it.
