   None No current Talk conversations about this book. A good resource, but I wish it was more accessible to people who aren't fluent in Hebrew. The biggest part of the book is a collection of blessings to say at various places in Israel, and most of them don't have full transliterations (saying them in English wouldn't necessarily feel the same). Also, I wish there was at least one map with English names instead of just Hebrew without vowels and in a very small font. Still, this would be a good supplement for those who already have a regular travel guide but want to add a spiritual dimension to their trip.

Be spiritually prepared for your journey in Israel. The only travel guide to Israel that will help you to prepare spiritually for your visit. Combining, in quick reference format, ancient blessings, medieval prayers, biblical references, and modern poetry, it helps today's pilgrim tap into the deep spiritual meaning of the ancient--and modern--sites of the Holy Land. For each of 25 major tourist destinations--from the Western Wall to Masada to a kibbutz in the Galilee--it gives guidance in sharply focused, four-step sections: Anticipation: To read in advance. Information to help orient you in the site's historical context. Approach: To read on the way there. Readings from traditional and modern sources to orient you in the site's spiritual context. Acknowledgment: To read at the site. A prayer or blessing to integrate the experience into your spiritual consciousness. Afterthought: Journaling space for writing your own thoughts and impressions. More than a guidebook: It is a spiritual map of the Holy Land. No library descriptions found. |
