A how-to for Jewish spirituality that works.A spiritual seeker is a person whose soul is awake. In this book I make no assumptions about how much you know about Judaism, what holidays you keep, or whether you believe in God. I want us to start from your soul's experience and carry on from there.--from the IntroductionVirtually anyone remotely affiliated with Judaism should read this book, wrote Publishers Weekly, which listed Jewish with Feeling among its Best Religion Books of the Year. Without question the best, most readable introduction to Reb Zalman's philosophy of Judaism, it is also the best beginner's guide to Jewish spirituality available today, wrote the Forward, the perfect book for both the spiritual seeker and the curious skeptic.Taking off from basic questions like Why be Jewish? and whether the word God still speaks to us today, Reb Zalman lays out a vision for a whole-person Judaism. This is not only Sinai then but Sinai now, a revelation of the Torah inside and all around us. Complete with many practical suggestions to enrich your own Jewish life, Jewish with Feeling is a mystical masterpiece filled with spiritual practices and an exciting vision of the future (Spirituality & Health). Spiritual experience, as Reb Zalman shows, repays every effort we make to acquire it.…

Scholar, mystic, teacher, friend to spiritual teachers from Thomas Merton to the Dalai Lama, from Ram Dass to the revered Native American elders, Zalman Schachter-Shalomi is himself one of the great spiritual leaders of our time. In Jewish with Feeling, Rabbi Schachter-Shalomi brings the core tenets and practices of Judaism into the twenty-first century. Drawing on a wide range of philosophies and religious traditions, Schachter-Shalomi illuminates the universal aspects of Judaism and shows readers how to apply them to daily life. Emphasizing personal experience over doctrine, he offers sage insight into how Judaism-both old and new-can help us lead satisfying spiritual lives.
