Overview

This volume collects the wisdom of more than 60 outstanding Jewish spiritual leaders, all teachers, colleagues, and students of Rabbi Slater. As a tribute to his influence on them, they offer brief but deep teachings and practical suggestions for spiritual practice, grounded in the weekly Torah portions, the Jewish holiday cycle, and core Jewish liturgical prayers.
