Title Details
Description
Acclaimed as an irresistible storyteller and humorist, Rabbi Kushner is already familiar to millions of listeners through his memorable contributions to NPR's All Things Considered. Now, this heartwarming voice shares tales and insights from his life as a spiritual explorer of the everyday world where the sacred meets the ordinary. Rabbi Kushner opens wide the gates of Jewish mysticism to illuminate four stages of spiritual development that lead ultimately to the devekut, or "cleaving with God," a state of divine union and pure selflessness explored by mystics through the ages. With traditional midrash (teaching stories) that are sometimes hilarious - and always thought provoking - he describes why we must learn to pay closer and closer attention to smaller and smaller things in order to develop awareness of this sacred unity.
