Product Description
In a voice that is engaging, often poetic, Rabbi Edward Feld helps the Modern reader understand events that span almost 4,000 years of the history of Judaism and the Jewish people. With rare clarity, insight, and gentleness, he offers a thought provoking yet accessible study of the way, tragedy has shaped Jewish history and the self- understanding of Jews. He shows how, even under the most traumatic of circumstances, Judaism survives, renewing itself and flourishing again. The Spirit of Renewal explores four key events that reshaped religious expression, two ancient and two modern: the Babylonian exile; the Bar Kochba revolution; the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. The cataclysm of the Holocaust seems to for- bid speech. Yet even in the heart of that darkness, sparks of sacredness were kept alive. From these sparks, Rabbi Feld suggests, Jews and others can renew a faith and find a language that recovers the holy even after experiencing the reign of a Kingdom of Night unimaginable to previous generations. This profound and wise meditation opens the way to a powerful new understanding of the nature of God and the spiritual life.
