Jewish conversationsA recent acquisition - Widen Your Tent, Micha Berger. - In the introduction of his magnum opus, Shaarei Yosher, Rav Shimon Shkop (1860-1939) outlines his views of mussar and theology – What is the purpose of Judaism? The nature of holiness? What does it mean to be a good person, to be made in the “image” of G-d? How can I be happy with what I have? How can I learn to understand and love other people?
This list of Jewish books is amazing! Would love to hear you share book reviews or a dvar Torah!
Is there a festival of Jewish books? Yes, and its today, Hei Tevet (5th of Tevet, 5783.) It was created in celebration of a famous court case, in which a massive library of #Seforim (religious Jewish books) was found to be property of the Jewish community, and not just one person who was secretly selling them off for profit.
Great book sales today at Sichos in English and Kehot Publications

Pesach Sommer offers thoughts on balancing an appreciation for academic knowledge with the importance of experiencing faith:

We are in full agreement my friend. I am non-Orthodox myself. Some of our non-Orthodox congregants were asking where one could learn Jewish spirituality, yet not only from Orthodox sources. (although those are fine too.) I often reply by pointing to rabbis who publish books thru Jewish Lights Publishing
(It is my minhag to learn from teachers in all our denominations)
