With his typical grace and sparkling wit, Talmudic master and rabbi Steinsaltz explores in these collected essays topics ranging from the nature of Jewish identity and the character of the state of Israel to interpretations of the five megillot (Ruth, Song of Songs, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations, and Esther). Included here are two interviews that provide glimpses into the intensity that marks the life and work of this great teacher. Highly recommended. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
