Product Description:

Sometime, somewhere, someone is searching for answers . . .
. . . in a thirteenth-century castle
. . . on a train to a concentration camp
. . . in a New York city apartment

Hidden within the binding of an ancient text that has been passed down through the ages lies the answer to one of the heart’s eternal questions. When the text falls into the hands of Rabbi Kalman Stern, he has no idea that his lonely life of intellectual pursuits is about to change once he opens the book. Soon afterward, he meets astronomer Isabel Benveniste, a woman of science who stirs his soul as no woman has for many years. But Kalman has much to learn before he can unlock his heart and let true love into his life. The key lies in the mysterious document he finds inside the Zohar, the master text of the Kabbalah.

Reviewed by Arthur L. Finkle

I have used this gem in a serous study group on mysticism. What is arcane, Kushner explains simply. Like the Zohar, its explanation involves becoming part of the cosmos; not looking from the outside.

Providing the ambience and involving the reader with the word, this novel provides the flavor of mysticism, which tastes delicious and will endure longer tan reading complicated texts.

This lyrical and sometimes poetic novel involves the reader in exploring the stories of love and of being a part of a larger being

Rabbi Kalman Stern is such a treasure of a character. The reader follows him through his mystical journey of meaning. Kalman, a modern day Rabbi has his old volume of Zohar, the master text of Kabbalah which he picked up in Israel years ago. The story is an overlay of his loneliness and the interest he has with the astronomer Isabel Benveniste, (a woman who stirs his soul),and that of the Zohar author Don Moshe in 13th century Spain. Don Moshe has taken on a tutoring assignment for the wife of a prominent businessman to teach her Hebrew. Both Stern and Moshe are teachers that discover that they are also students of the mystical insight that links heaven and earth, and in the end it wraps up with the aha! the discovery..of course "you can only have it if you give it away". Love...as it was spoken ... Read More

- I love this book
I have read a few books of Rabbi Kushner that explore Jewish spirituality, and liked them very match. So I was intrigued by his exploration of a new, to my knowledge, genre. It started somewhat slowly, but quickly accelerated into a wonderful ride through the time and space, which only true mystic can create. I gained some new incites into kabbalistic concept of multiple universes, which escaped me for a long time. What a joy! Thank you Rabbi.

This is a terrific story. The story is a little complex, but difficult to leave once you get into it. I found it very thought provoking and satisfying. I loved it!

A wonderful connection between the teachings of Kabbalah and a modern love story. The book makes the complex easier to understand. Our book group has decided to make this book our topic of discussion at our next meeting.
