Overview

Praise for Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz

"Jewish lore is filled with tales of formidable rabbis. Probably none living today can compare in genius and influence to Adin Steinsaltz."
Newsweek

"If Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz lived in the United States, he would likely be on the cover of Science or Time. His fiction might appear in The New Yorker, and op-ed pages of metropolitan dailies would invite his views on politics and society."

Praise for Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz

Newsweek

"If Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz lived in the United States, he would likely be on the cover of Science or Time. His fiction might appear in The New Yorker, and op-ed pages of metropolitan dailies would invite his views on politics and society."
Washington Post

Most of my private time with Rabbi Steinsaltz has been in my car, with me behind the wheel and the Rabbi smoking his pipe in the passenger seat. I've written this book to share some of these moments in the hope they'll nourish you as they have me.

I invite you to come along for the ride.
—From the Introduction by Arthur Kurzweil

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this book-length love letter from a disciple to his mentor, author and editor Kurzweil traces his discovery of a "Teacher with a capital T" in Jerusalem-based Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, probably best known for his commentary on the Talmud. Fascinated and enlightened by Steinsaltz's masterpiece of Jewish theology, The Thirteen-Petalled Rose-he knows it almost by heart-Kurzweil once called the rabbi's U.S. office, volunteering to pick him up at the airport and chauffeur him around during his lecture tours. Thus began a two-decades-long journey of conversations about reincarnation, suffering, Talmud, Kabbalah, marijuana, parenting and much more. Part spiritual memoir, Kurzweil's own story is interpolated with Steinsaltz's, from his secular upbringing, experimentation with Eastern religions, immersion in magic and ultimate rediscovery of Judaism. Kurzweil faithfully transcribes the rabbi's encounters with Ted Koppel and the Lubavitcher rebbe as well as his poignant conversations with Kurzweil's own daughters about role models, love and divorce. All these interactions show the rabbi's nonjudgmental depth and wisdom. Steinsaltz's gifts as a scientist, mathematician, skeptic and man of God results in a "wholeness of vision" that helps Kurzweil transform his life and motivates him to encourage readers to mine Steinsaltz's genius for themselves.
