Bradley Shavit Artson
Author of The Bedside Torah : Wisdom, Visions, and Dreams
About the Author
Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, known widely for making the Hebrew Bible relevant to our lives, draws on generations of Jewish sages, philosophers and scholars to explore this ancient story, known as the binding of Isaac or the test of Abraham. He invites us to use this powerful tale as a tool for our show more own soul wrestling, to transcend its words to confront our own existential sacrifices and our ability to face-and surmount- life's tests. By applying this tale's lessons to everyday events, Artson compels us to pay closer attention to our lives and, through our priorities, responsibilities, mindfulness and faith, ask ourselves if we are passing our own tests. show less
