A bestselling author and rabbi's profoundly affecting exploration of the meaning and purpose of the soul
Einstein and the Rabbi is an inspiring and deeply affecting book for people of all faiths, Rabbi Naomi Levy sets off on a three-year exploration of the mystery behind a moving and mystical letter that Albert Einstein wrote to a grieving father about the unity that underlies all existence. In the letter Einstein perfectly captures what Rabbi Levy has come to believe about the human condition: that we are intimately connected and that we are blind to this truth. Wondering what had elicited such spiritual wisdom from a man of science, Levy leads us on a breathtaking journey full of wisdom, empathy, and humor, all the while helping us to reclaim our souls and glimpse the oneness that has been eluding us, live up to our gifts, and understand why we are here.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 337-338).
"A bestselling author and rabbi's profoundly affecting exploration of the meaning and purpose of the soul, inspired by the famous correspondence between Albert Einstein and a grieving rabbi."-- Amazon.com.
When Rabbi Levy came across a poignant letter by Einstein, it shook her to her core. She wondered what had elicited such spiritual wisdom from a man of science, and began a three-year search into the mystery of Einstein's letter, and into the mystery of the human soul. Here Levy leads us on a breathtaking journey full of wisdom, empathy and humor, challenging us to wake up and heed the voice calling from within-- a voice beckoning us to become who we were born be.
