The Book of Words: Talking Spiritual Life, Living Spiritual Talk (Kushner)Lawrence Kushner
Taschenbuch
< I> The Book of Words: Talking Spiritual Life, Living Spiritual Talk collects Rabbi Lawrence Kushner's inspiring, entertaining, unconventional definitions of 30 Hebrew words. " According to the Hebrew Bible, God made the world with words, " Kushner writes. " Not only are words the instrument of creation, in Judaism they are the primary reality itself. " According to this belief, Kushner proceeds to meditate and play with spiritually charged words such as " Love, " " Water, " and some surprising choices such as " Garbage. " Each short essay ends with a < I>kavanah, or meditative exercise, designed to "help the reader 'live in the word. '" This book is among Kushner's best and is an excellent companion to Arthur Green's < I> These Are The Words or to Kushner's own < I> The Book of Letters. < I>-Michael Joseph Gross
