Before There Was a Before by Arthur Waskow

Arthur Waskow and his two children have brought to life the orchestra of sounds and panoply of colors and smells of the seven days of creation. Their language is as unique and vibrant as the creation story. Together with Amnon Danziger's beautiful black and while illustrations, creation is revealed as a soul-stirring act of love and need, showing anew the interrelatedness of all life. - from the book cover

Godwrestling--round 2 : ancient wisdom, future paths by Arthur Ocean Waskow

"To wrestle with Torah, the process of midrash, I understand now as a spiral, in which go back again and again in order to go forward. We draw on ancient wisdom to create a new wisdom. What went before we turn and turn like a kaleidoscope; with every turn there appears new beauty, new patterns, new complexity, new simplicity." Arthur Waskow

Speaking for Jewish renewal with an eco-feminist ethic, the author seeks to show Jewish tradition relevant to modern life--how Judaism allows us to find God in the concrete and the everyday aspects of life.
