"""Eternal Questions is, truly, the Torah of wholeness. It is a guide to bringing Torah into our lives, into our bodies, into our breath, into our relationships-into realizing the expansive, transformative potential of Jewish sacred text and practice. This is the wisdom that we always need-but maybe particularly now, more than ever, during these turbulent times."" -Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg, author, On Repentance and Repair ""Why is this book of Torah commentary different from other ones? Because it is less a display of the writer's rabbinic sagacity (though he has plenty) than a practical, actionable invitation to deep, personal reflection. As its title implies, it is, first and foremost, about asking questions, grounded in a combination of traits that my friend Rabbi Josh Feigelson uniquely embodies: a sophisticated yet reverent fluency with Jewish text, a commitment to contemplative practice, and above all, what some would call menschlichkeit: decency."" -Rabbi Dr. Jay Michaelson, author, The Heresy of Jacob Frank and The Gate of Tears: Sadness and the Spiritual Path ""Welcome to a seat beside the warm and highly learned Rabbi Feigelson. Your heart will open and your mind lock into clarity. Eternal Questions is a work of wisdom and love. It welcomes all seekers to share in a deeply personal inquiry that brings Torah immediately into a reflection of the spirit."" -Dr. Lisa Miller, author, The Spiritual Child and The Awakened Brain ""Rabbi Josh Feigelson has penned one of the most unique works on the parsha, beautifully synthesizing worldly knowledge with classic Torah and Chassidic teaching. Interweaving genius of mind with depth of soul he creatively shows how spirituality can give wings to foundational Jewish thought and profoundly impact our lives. Rabbi Feigelson's commentary speaks directly to the heart, no doubt inspiring readers to find greater inner peace, greater meaning in life- reaching higher and higher still- to make a difference."" -Rabbi Avi Weiss, author, Spiritual Activism: A Jewish Guide to Leadership and Repairing the World"
