A Spiritual Life: Exploring the Heart and Jewish Tradition (S U N Y Series in Modern Jewish Literature and Culture)
Praise forA Spiritual Life"Reading Feld, you burst out laughing one minute and wipe away tears the  next. Mostly, we recognize ourselves--the messy, complex, uncertain yet  precious threads which make up the fabric of our lives ... Feld offers an  attention, a connection to one another and to tradition that values the  present and the eternal." --The Jewish Times"Rarely have I enjoyed the intellectual pleasure I experienced when reading  Merle Feld'sA Spiritual Life. An inspiration to all of us to take  seriously the imperative that the spiritual and the ethical must be  intertwined." -- Susannah Heschel, editor ofOn Being a Jewish Feminist:  A Reader"Stories and poetry so captivating, powerful, wise, you will never be the  same. An extraordinary achievement!" -- Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, author ofKabbalah: A Love Story"This book cannot be pigeonholed ... finding spirituality in the everyday,  Feld names experiences shared by many women, yet seldom fully articulated,  or articulated this clearly and well." -- Judith Plaskow, author ofStanding Again at Sinai: Judaism from a Feminist Perspective"Merle Feld has written a wonderfully moving tribute to the multifaceted  nature of the human soul. Her poems and stories touch something deep within  me." -- Blu Greenberg, author ofOn Women and Judaism: A View from  Tradition"Down-to-earth, honest, courageous ... One traverses the years by her side  and is moved as she comes to realize that everything is poetry, that the  magic of life lies in its minutia, in the supermarket, in underwear. `Don't  forget,' she implores, `we were all at Mount Sinai together.'" --Hadassah Magazine"This readers' guide is a feast for widely diverse book groups with its  wonderfully provocative questions that inspire deep reflection and  heart-to-heart sharing." -- Rachel Jacobsohn, Founder, Association of Book  Group Readers and Leaders--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
