About the Authors

SIDNEY BALLON (1912-1974) was an American rabbi in the Reform Judaism movement. Born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, raised and educated in nearby Providence, he graduated with high honors from Brown University in 1932. He was ordained in 1938 from the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, Ohio, and had pulpits in South Carolina, Kentucky, New York, and Georgia. In his thirty-six years in the pulpit he delivered approximately eight hundred sermons. The topics he gravitated to included belief in God, living in accordance with the principles of Judaism, love of the Jewish homeland, concern for the survival of Jewish life, and a vast number of topical issues reflecting social, political, and cultural issues of America and the world.

YESH BALLON is Co-Director of Yedidya Center for Jewish Spiritual Direction and Morei Derekh Jewish Spiritual Direction Training Program. He is a Mashpia Ruchani (Spiritual Director) and Vatik (Sage-ing(R) Mentor), certified by ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal. Yesh is a teacher, artist, writer, and a retired architect. He spent over thirty years working in corporate real estate departments in Silicon Valley and around the world, as trainer, meeting facilitator, and an award-winning design and construction project manager. He also bakes a pretty decent challah. http: //www.yeshindeed.com/.
