Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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

Review:

Review:

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)
