A great Mussar sefer,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Duties of the Heart (2-Volume Set) (Torah Classics Library) (Hardcover)
This work is a classic of Mussar. It gives insights into our moral duties in a deep way. The format of Torah Classics means it can be easily carried with one, and learned from wherever one goes. The work is a dual language Hebrew- English one which also helped me as I love to read the Hebrew aloud, translate myself and see how close I come to the English.

Duties of the Heart - Boxed Set,
By Collene (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Duties of the Heart (2-Volume Set) (Torah Classics Library) (Hardcover)
Duties of the Heart (2-Volume Set, Pocket-Size Edition)
NOTE: I should have bought the pocket sized edition! It's my only regret with the purchase as the volumes I selected are too big to carry around in a handbag or pocket. This is considered "among the rarest jewels in the crown of Jewish spirituality" and it does not disappoint. It is about one's inner life: reflection, trust, sincerity, discipline and trust. MUST READ for anyone seeking to explore the inner potential for wisdom.
