5.0 out of 5 stars Profound Jewish thought on a variety of subjects, October 12, 2004

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

This review is from: The Strife of the Spirit (Hardcover)

This is my favorite of all the Steinsaltz works that have appeared in English. It contains a variety of interesting essays on many different topics.It is highly recommended.

Yet a certain reticence in regard to contemporary issues in a sovereign Jewish state troubled me a bit about this work.
