Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[This] stellar community of seekers and teachers explores both text and context, giving voice to a range of healing insights and approaches, deeply Jewish and yet wonderfully diverse."
--Rabbi Simkha Y. Weintraub, LCSW, rabbinic director, National Center for Jewish Healing, Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services; editor, Healing of Soul, Healing of Body: Spiritual Leaders Unfold the Strength & Solace in Psalms

"What a gift! The depth and originality of these articles invite--indeed, challenge--readers to reframe their spiritual perspective and questions. To read this book is to expand one's own religious imagination."
--Linda Thal, EdD, codirector, Yedidya Center for Jewish Spiritual Direction

"A cohesive work that functions both as academic source material for the professional as well as resource material for the interested layperson. When we feel as though our internal world is crumbling, this book has the potential to help us find our grounding."
--Debbie Friedman, singer and songwriter

"A remarkable collection by some of the best minds of our generation. Provocative, thoughtful, deeply infused with critical and personal reflections, reveals a maturity of thought and religious insight that is highly readable and often moving for the layperson, professional, scholar, rabbi and all who work with patients and others in need of healing."
--Rabbi Lewis M. Barth, PhD, professor of midrash and related literature and immediate past dean, Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion

"Humane, personal and richly intellectual ... for those of us who are searching for Jewish wisdom about healing when we are not sure of cure, about hope when we know our lives are all too finite."
--Rabbi Rachel Cowan, executive director, Institute for Jewish Spirituality

Reseña del editor:

Through unique--and sometimes controversial--perspectives, a group of celebrated thinkers pushes the boundaries of Jewish knowledge, investing the search for healing with new ideas and new ways to look at old texts.
