About this book
A window into the Jewish soul—written especially for Christians.
"I invite you to explore with me some of the rich and varied expressions of the Jewish spiritual imagination. It is a tradition that may at times, for Christians, feel strangely familiar and will, for Christians and Jews, always challenge you to see yourself and your world through a new lens."
—from the Introduction
Jewish spirituality is an approach to life that encourages us to become aware of God's presence and purpose, even in unlikely places. "This world and everything in it is a manifestation of God's presence, " says Rabbi Lawrence Kushner. "Our challenge and goal is to find it and then act in such a way as to help others find it too."
In this special book, Kushner guides Christians through the rich wisdom of Jewish spirituality. He tailors his unique style to address Christians' questions, and, in doing so, opens new windows on their own faith.
Jewish Spirituality is a window into the Jewish soul that people of all faiths can understand and enjoy. From the Talmud and Torah, to "repentence" ( teshuva ) and "repairing the world" ( tikkun olam ), Kushner shows all of us how we can use the fundamentals of Jewish spirituality to enrich our own lives.
