Review:
"To read Martin Buber is to encounter an extraordinary soul--and to rish changing your life . . . Unique, exhilarating, profound."
--David Wolpe, author of "Why Be Jewish?"
" "
"When as an adult I first found myself wrestling with God, Torah, and Judaism, someone handed me these essays of Martin Buber. I found them, and subsequently all of Buber's work, speaking deeply and wisely to my life-situation, inviting me into a conversation that has continued through the quarter-century since. To anyone who is newly attracted to, or deeply involved in, Jewish renewal, I recommend them for at least a quarter-century's worth of wonderful exploration."
--Arthur Waskow, author of "Down-to-Earth Judaism"
" "
"How good it is to be reminded of the richness of Martin Buber's early thought, of his passion, of his power as a teacher, even as a prophet. This collection, with Rodger Kamenetz's foreword, will be of great value to all concerned with the revitalization of Judaism today."
--Jonathan Omer-man, "Metivta Institute"
