Named "one of America's most inspiring rabbis" by the Forward (inaugural list, 2013), Mark Sameth is featured in Jennifer Berne and R. O. Blechman's God: 48 Famous and Fascinating Minds Talk about God (2017). His essays appear in books and periodicals, including CCAR Journal, Journal of Jewish Education, Reform Judaism, and the New York Times ("Is God Transgender?," August 12, 2016).
"Rabbi Mark Sameth takes us on a thrilling journey shrouded in
mystery into the very heart of faith. The Name is traditional and
revolutionary, historical and mythical, rational and mystical. I
couldn't put it down. This book is a blessing you will want to
share with your friends, a work that will open you up to new and
healing visions of God, of self, of humanity, and of our
world."
--Naomi Levy, author of Einstein and the Rabbi
"Sameth reveals a secret hidden within the very Name of God. He
weaves history, Bible, theology, Kabbalah, linguistics into a
teaching about the nature of sexuality and the Holy One of Being.
Indeed, this may just be the most interesting thing written about
God since the Jews figured out there was only One."
--Lawrence Kushner, author of Kabbalah: A Love Story
"This is the freshest thinking that I have come across in nearly
forty years as a rabbi. This insight into our understanding of the
theological worldview of the rabbis is revolutionary. It has the
potential to change our entire understanding of the past."
--Kerry Olitzky, co-author of The Book of Job: A Modern Translation
and Commentary
