Achieving a sense of self-mastery and inner freedom demands that we gain a measure of hegemony over our thoughts. We learn to choose our thoughts so we are not at the mercy of whatever burps up to the mind, thus transforming a cluttered mind into a peaceful inner state of awareness. Through quieting the mind and conscious breathing, we can slow the onrush of anxious, scattered thinking and come to a deeper awareness of the interconnectedness of all of life.

The authors reached back into history to understand the reasons and methods brilliant rabbis and Talmudic scholars abandoned the Holy Land, both physically and spiritually, to settle in what came to be known as the lands of the Diaspora. This dramatic exodus was contrary to the biblical injunction that all Jews must live in the land of Israel. The Battle of the Two Talmuds explains in great detail how the Babylonian scholars created their own interpretation of the Torah that grew to take precedence over that of the Jerusalem scholars. This book shows that all human beings are subject in various ways to power, glory, and guilt.

dig deeper into the long history of Judaism
- By Linda NY on 06-05-13
Publisher's Summary
This biography uncovers the roots of the dedication and sacrifice that nurture the current Lubavitch movement. Rich with details, it provides perspective, inspiration, courage, and insight into the towering personality of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, Rabbi of Yekatrinoslav, Ukraine, father of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson.
Whether it was defying the Communists, informers, or other radical social elements, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak stood in the breech at the risk of his life to keep Judaism vibrant and alive in the Soviet Union.
Brimming with details documented only after the fall of communist Russia, the story heartbreakingly portrays the final years when Rabbi Levi Yitzchak was tortured and exiled to the remote village of Chi'ili, Kazakhstan, for "counterrevolutionary" activities.
Under the most grueling living conditions, beset with hunger, sickness, and little hope of release, we see the portrait of the inner man - the man who lived each moment by the dictates of his soul and his faith in G-d.
Aided by the indomitable spirit of his life-long partner, Rebbetzin Chana, Rabbi Levi Yiztchak was able to write his novel Torah insights with natural ink manufactured by the Rebbetzin from grass and herbs she gathered in the fields.
Even under such brutal circumstances, exiles, refugees, and local people continued to flock to him. His advice, encouragement, and wisdom, revealed the noble soul of a spiritual giant.
