Slow down and give yourself a gift and read GOD WHISPERS by Rabbi Karen Kedar. It is one of those amazing texts that seem to speak to you when you need it most. Many of her chapter/lessons will stay with you and "pop out" during your life and the most unexpected moments. Because of her style, you can pick up the book and read it from the start - or middle. Each chapter will add to your life and speak to your soul. How fortunate we are that Rabbi Kedar shares her experiences and wisdom with us! read it and feed your soul!

At first I read the book from cover-to-cover, finding answers to often-thought-of questions as well as answers to questions I didn't even know I was asking. Now, I frequently just open to any page and it seems as if G-d was Whispering directly in my ear. The stories speak directly to my heart.

I truly treasure this book and find that I have read many of the stories over and over, each time gaining new insight and meaning to my own journey. Karen Kedar's book might be titled "God Whispers", but its messages are loud and clear. Karen, I thank you for the gift of this book and I pray there might be a Volume II someday.

This book will speak to your soul. In the style of Kitchen Table Wisdom, the author shares powerful stories about spiritual understanding gained from everyday life. Kedar helps us realize that each moment can be a holy moment. Every time I pick it up, I get a new insight and am uplifted.

Easy to read but the message is a bit more subtle. Enjoyed the book for its insights. It is a book to be read more than once to understand the nuances.

I read this book to my yoga classes. Her prose/poetry is perfection meditation material. She's clear with her message. I have bought several copies of this book to give as gifts and recommend this to anyone who enjoys spiritual reading. Short stories alternate with beauutiful inspiring poems.

This book touched me so deeply, I bought ten copies to distribute to friends and family.

Karyn Kedar understands and addresses the sense of loss and isolation which are too often part of the human experience. She confirms that our dreams and hopes are attainable, when we work to connect with others, look for meaning in the day to day, and realize God is found in a myriad of places we would least expect. When we look and listen closely, God is softly speaking to and directing us.

This book is sustenance for the spiritually hungry.

I bought Rabbi Kedar's book after learning that she had been chosen as the Senior Rabbi of my synagogue, B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim in Glenview, IL. I am now not only excited about reading her 2nd book, but getting to live these experiences with her on a routine basis. This book lived up to its introduction where it suggested that I would find great comfort in some of what I read in the book, but I will also become fearful of some of the stories as well as angry about some of them. In each case, however, it caused me to reflect on how I would and should react and what was truly causing me to feel the way I did. I think this book will help me in my every day dealing with people. Applause to Rabbi Kedar for an outstanding book (as well as to BJBE's search committee for a great choice for Senior Rabbi!!!!).

AS A GRADUATING SENIOR IN COLLEGE, THIS GAVE ME THE COURAGE AND HOPE FOR WHAT TOMMORROW BRINGS, PRAISE TO RABBI KEDAR!!

Kedar does a fabulous job showing the reader some of the everyday encounters we have with god that we could otherwise miss. Her insights have given me a better appreciation of how much we as people have in our everyday lives. It's a winner for anyone looking for insights into themselves, life, or the world we live in.
