In this magnificent collection, Rabbi Elkins once more touches the soul and secret of Jewish survival. We are again greatly indebted to him for delving deeply into the very substance of our spirit as individuals and as a unique peoplehood, in a work that reflects his own sensitivity and intelligence. This book is essential reading for those who would understand the Jewish spirit.

Thinking -I’ll just read one story in this book – is like thinking – I’ll just eat one candy in this bowl. It isn’t possible. Each taste of piquancy and sweetness conditions the desire for more. -Sylvia Boorstein, author of Happiness Is An Inside Job: Practicing for a Joyful Life
