Reviews

'Through seamless excursions into history, law, comparative religion, art, music, literature, psychology, sociology and philosophy, he examines the Jewish way of 'mapping reality' to meet our most important challenge: finding shape in our lives. . . . Hoffman's lucid and eloquent interpretations will appeal to Jewish and non-Jewish readers searching to understand Judaism and to 'connect the dots' in their own lives.' --Publishers Weekly, starred review 'Hoffman's analysis of Jewish spiritual wisdom and its relevance to today's world is both lucid and perceptive.' --George Cohen, Booklist
