Description
The new Jewish spirituality lies somewhere between God's elusive presence in our world and our search for authentic language to describe it. Rabbi Arthur Green leads us on a journey of discovery to seek God, the world, and ourselves. One of the most influential Jewish thinkers of our time, Green has created a roadmap of meaning for our lives in the light of Jewish mysticism, using the Hebrew letters that make up the divine name: Yod--Reality at the beginning. God as the oneness of being at the outset, before it unfolds into our universe. Heh--Creation and God's presence in the world. A renewed faith in God as Creator has powerful implications for us today. Vav--Revelation, the central faith claim of Judaism and the claim it makes on our lives. Heh--Redemption and our return to God through the life of Torah and by participating in the ongoing repair of the world. A personal and honest framework of understanding for the seeker, this revised and updated edition of a classic sheds new light on our search for the divine presence in our everyday lives.
