On The Road With Rabbi Steinsaltz: 25 Years Of Pre-Dawn Car Trips, Mind-Blowing Encounters, And Inspiring Conversations With A Man Of Wisdom

Book Summary

Praise for Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz "Jewish lore is filled with tales of formidable rabbis. Probably none living today can compare in genius and influence to Adin Steinsaltz." --"Newsweek" "If Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz lived in the United States, he would likely be on the cover of Science or Time. His fiction might appear in The New Yorker, and op-ed pages of metropolitan dailies would invite his views on politics and society." --"Washington Post" Most of my private time with Rabbi Steinsaltz has been in my car, with me behind the wheel and the Rabbi smoking his pipe in the passenger seat. I've written this book to share some of these moments in the hope they'll nourish you as they have me. I invite you to come along for the ride. --From the Introduction by Arthur Kurzweil Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz is internationally regarded as one of the most brilliant and influential rabbis of our time. He has been lauded by "Time" magazine as a "once-in-a-millennium scholar" and by Ted Koppel of "Night Line" as "one of the very few wise men that I've ever met." Arthur Kurzweil--himself a Jewish scholar, author, teacher, and publisher--has been a disciple of Rabbi Steinsaltz's for over 25 years, as well as the Rabbi's designated chauffer in the United States. While stuck in countless traffic jams and attending the Rabbi's lectures at universities, government agencies, synagogues and seminars, Arthur Kurzweil has had the rare opportunity of personally learning from his inspired teacher and has become intimately familiar with the Rabbi's wisdom and teachings.
