ALEPH Canada is dedicated to reclaiming the Jewish people’s sacred purpose of partnership with the Divine in the inseparable tasks of healing the world and healing our hearts.
In this book, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi outlines a comprehensive renewal of the Judaism he so loves and admires. Using core concepts and the map provided by Kabbalah, he re-examines Jewish practice in light of contemporary insights about the nature of our world. In a conversational voice replete with personal anecdotes and beautiful Chassidic stories, Reb Zalman weaves a Jewish spirituality in harmony with tradition and open to the present.
“Through stories, legends, and wit, Rabbi Daniel Siegel, a gifted theologian and teacher teams up with Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, one of America's most seminal and beloved spiritual masters, to offer us a zero-threshold invitation to Jewish spirituality and the soul of Jewish renewal.”
Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Emanu-El Scholar, Congregation Emanu-El, San Francisco, author of Honey from the Rock; God Was in This Place and I, i Did not Know; Invisible Lines of Connection.
