Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"A highly entertaining personal account of one man's surprising journey into the mystical heart of Judaism."--Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"Its fascinating to see what is good and true and real in terms of different religious sensibilities." (--E.L. Doctorow)

Review:

" A book for anyone who feels the narrowness of a wholly secular life or who wonders about the fate of esoteric spiritual traditions in a world that seems bent on destroying or vulgarizing them. It is a narrative about an extraordinary moment in history, of course, but it is also the chronicle of Rodger Kamenetz's discovery. . . a more nourishing Judaism." (--New York Times Book Review)
