Description

In this new book, Martin Israel explores the question: How can we learn to obey the commandment to love our neighbor Through powerful meditations on the nature and responsibilities of existence and love Israel shows to his readers some of paths for the "mystical walk" that ends in love. He writes:"One does not believe in God; one knows Him by experience, and that experience makes all life's vicissitudes worth while. For this end is glorious [and] as one grows so one's vision expands to include all humanity and ultimately all that lives."
