Summary: "it is to begin with, all inside us"
Review: A reprint of "Honey from the Rock: Ten Gates of Jewish Mysticism", with an added preface and foreword, this is a book I've treasured and read many times since I bought the first edition in 1983.
It's poetic, with a warmth and humanity that touches the heart an illuminates the mind. Its 10 chapters are broken down into short pieces (93 in all), and when quoting from the Torah or a rabbinical saying, the original Hebrew is written below the quote.
This slim volume could easily be read in one day, but I don't think you would want to...it's a book to savor and reflect upon, because in its simplicity, there is much depth."The begining was seeing for even one moment
That there was something more to reality
Than meets the eye.
The end is seeing for even one moment
That the apparent multiplicity
Is in reality a unity" ...

Summary: An amazing book!
Review: I can't do justice to this wonderful book. The author weaves biblical quotes, biographical experiences, poetry, physics and theology into a mystical journey that is as engaging as it is accessible. Thank you for this wonderful journey, Rabbi Kushner...or rather, thank you for showing me that I was on the journey all along and didn't appreciate it.
