Synopsis
One of the great innovators in Jewish history writes a practical guide to Jewish living in a modern world.
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.

Reviews
Starred Review. Whether by birth, by marriage or by choice, whether practicing or not, virtually anyone remotely affiliated with Judaism should read this book. Schachter-Shalomi, a founder and leader of the Jewish Renewal movement, offers a Judaism with a keen sense of the present infused with the sacredness of the past, yet written with a hopeful eye toward the future. Sharing his own struggles with faith, Schachter-Shalomi reminds readers that not only is it okay to question God, as Jews it's expected. More than a book, his dialogue takes on the tone of a late Shabbos afternoon in his study. His combination of rich, illustrative Hasidic tales interspersed with probing questions for today and creative suggestions for bringing Judaism into the world reach out to Jews of all ages and virtually all denominations. He addresses prayer, reminding readers that the act of praying is not about the words but about the feeling, and that they should pray from the heart, not by rote. He celebrates diversity, within and among religions, eschewing triumphalism. Most importantly, he offers a path for return to the oneness God intended when he created human beings—oneness with ourselves, the world, each other and ultimately with God. (Mar. 3)
