Reviews

"""...a beautifully told series of stories, which traces a major mythic thread in the tapestry of Judaism."" -- Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author My Grandfather's Blessings

""An exciting spiritual adventure...It is a subject matter particularly pertinent in our times of religious ferment."" -- Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis, author For Those Who Cant Believe and Finding Each Other in Judaism

As well as being serous Jewish History, this book is rollicking with fun. -- Judy Carr, The Jewish Post & Opinion"
