5.0 out of 5 stars To always begin again, October 24, 2005

Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: In the Beginning: Discourses on Chasidic Thought (Paperback)

I believe many of the talks included in this book were first presented by Rabbi Steinsaltz in his Thursday night 'shiur' in 'Hovvei Tzion' shul in Yerushalayim. They were difficult and deep , and provided interesting original insights into the meaning of ' In the Beginning'.

My Holy Teacher David Herzberg used to say that we live ' for the sake of Beginning'. And that we are in a sense always beginning again.

Who begins this work and continues with it will deepen in learning and understanding of Torah.
