Review Quotes

"Steinsaltz possesses a mind of the quality that occurs perhaps once or twice in a generation, or several generations . . . In [The Thirteen Petalled Rose] one can encounter the classical Jewish mystical view of reality, delineated lucidly, concisely, profoundly and, what is so rare, believingly. It is an utterly authentic expression of Judaism yet so unknown even among the well-informed and therefore so necessary, so welcome."--Hebert Weiner, author of Nine and A Half Mystics: The Kabbala Today

"This truly new work of theology provides answers with which contemporary men may renew their connection with the God of their fathers."--Judaica Book News
