by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz
On This Page
Description
In this book, Rabbi Steinsaltz, hailed by Time Magazine as a once in a millennium spiritual leader, teacher, and scholar, provides surprising answers, to the most difficult and deepest questions that reside in the secret hearts of Jews --Who are we? Why are Jews always in the headlines? Why are we so disproportionately prominent in the world, with our Nobel prize winners, our artists and businessmen, our infamy and notoriety? Why do people hate us? Why do we have such an abysmal history? How show more can Jews live in the Jewish world, plus the secular and nationalistic world? Steinsaltz is the author of The Miracle of the Seventh Day (0-7879-6545-6) Opening the Tanya (0-7879-6798-X). show lessTags
