Description
The Fifty-Eighth Century: A Jewish Renewal Sourcebook
by Shohama Wiener
The Jewish Renewal movement seeks to make Judaism relevant and fulfilling for the modern person who feels distant from traditional Jewish life. Inspired by Rabbi Salman Schachter-Shalomi, known simply as Reb Zalman to his followers, the movement offers a contemporary view of ancient Jewish mystical traditions, infused with an awareness of gender issues and the environment, the validity of other spiritual traditions and the interconnectedness of all things.
