Books by Rabbi Lawrence Kushner

In these old prayerbook-like pages you will enter a world of sacred tradition and religious feeling. Weaves Talmudic commentary, Hasidic folktales and Kabbalistic mysteries around the Hebrew alphabet to reveal each letter's special personality and meaning.

With creativity and poetry (and occasional heresy) Kushner dusts off thirty classical Hebrew words, shakes them free of the effects of generations of overuse, "re-translates" them and liberates their ancient holy power for contemporary spiritual life.

Jewish spirituality approaches life in a way that encourages us to become aware of God''s presence and purpose, even in unlikely places. A unique guide to the rich wisdom of Judaism tailored to address Christians'' questions and help deepen their own faith.
