Prayer itself has taken on countless forms, from offerings to song, words to whispers, tearful supplication to sublime silence. At times, prayer is as primitive and raw as a cry for help; at times, prayer is a formulaic equation intended to effect change - but always, flowing from a place deep within, and forever with a hope for a better future.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), the Lubavitcher Rebbe, took an insular Chasidic group that was almost decimated by the Holocaust and transformed it into one of the most influential and controversial forces in world Jewry. This superbly crafted biography draws on recently uncovered documents and archives of personal correspondence, painting an exceptionally human and charming portrait of a man who was well known but little understood.

Story5 out of 5 stars 19
Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, more affectionately known as Reb Zalman, was originally ordained as an Orthodox rabbi in 1947. That, however, was just the beginning of his spiritual journey and study of world religions. He is spoken of as the “Father” of the Jewish Renewal movement—a post-Holocaust, non-Orthodox Jewish movement that blends kabbalistic and Hasidic elements, while also integrating other practices such as meditation, chant and dance, as well as borrowed elements of Buddhism, Sufism and Christian mysticism.

Do near-death experiences prove immortality? How does reincarnation really work? Drawing from ancient Jewish wisdom and a modern understanding of consciousness, Rav Pinson explores the possibility of surviving death, the near-death experience, and a glimpse into what awaits us after this life.

The four spies at the center of this story were part of a ragtag unit known as the Arab Section, conceived during World War II by British spies and Jewish militia leaders in Palestine. Intended to gather intelligence and carry out sabotage and assassinations, the unit consisted of Jews who were native to the Arab world and could thus easily assume Arab identities. In 1948, with Israel's existence in the balance during the War of Independence, our spies went undercover in Beirut, where they spent the next two years operating out of a kiosk....

Publisher's Summary
Treasured Folk Tales from Hasidism's Most Legendary Storyteller
Rebbe Nachman, the great-grandson of the Baal Shem Tov (founder of Hasidism), worked ceaselessly to bring the most profound spiritual truths into the life of every person. A brilliant teacher who wrestled with worldly troubles and setbacks, he succeeded at last in creating "something that will endure forever" - his stories. Stories of Rebbe Nachman presents these crowning jewels of his life's work - teaching fables that vividly communicate how to live with the presence of God in daily life. Told by Rabbi David Zeller, director of Israel's Yakar Center for Torah and Creativity, Stories of Rebbe Nachman presents these tales as they were first heard - by word of mouth - accompanied by Rebbe Nachman's original niggunim (Hasidic folk melodies). An uplifting session from the man called "the first storyteller of Judaism". Tales include: "The Lost Princess", "The Clever One and the Simpleton", "The Rabbi and His Son", "The Fixer", and more.

Unbearable to listen to
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The book might be for me, but the narrator is not. :)
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I would love to listen to these stories, but the narrator doesn't read smoothly. The narrator pauses at inappropriate times, taking much longer to read than needed. :(
