Alan Lew once again offers us a book full of wisdom, combining his years of experience as a Rabbi and as a student of meditation. He communicates his deep insights regarding the Bible, the Talmud, and life in general in everyday language. His chapter on the meaning of suffering is a jewel. This book has enriched my connection with traditional Jewish teaching, while at the same time inspiring me to continue with my meditation practice. I recommend this book with all my heart.
