Letters to a Buddhist Jew

Cultural Writing. Letters. Jewish studies. Buddhist studies. LETTERS TO A BUDDHIST JEW is a collection of letters between a Jew drawn to Buddhism and an Orthodox rabbi. "In this extraordinary exchange, David Gottlieb, speaking from a Zen perspective, pinpoints the critical questions modern Jews are moved to ask of their tradition, and Akiva Tatz, with kindness, patience and consummate skill, answers with the voice of a fully developed spiritual Judaism. This is a fascinating book: the most serious contribution in this field to date"-Zoketsu Norman Fischer, founder of the Everyday Zen Foundation. According to Jonathan Rosenblum, a columnist for the Jerusalem Post, this book is "a 'must read' for any searching Jew." Gottlieb is an award-winning fiction writer and Rabbi Dr. Tatz is a physician and the founder and director of the Jerusalem Medical Ethics Forum.

Free will is at the root of the human condition. It defines human uniqueness, it is the source of human greatness, and it is an axiom of Torah. Few subjects are as central as this in developing an authentic Jewish outlook, yet its classic questions are among the most difficult: How does one's free will affect others? Does foreknowledge mean that free will is an illusion? How can the will be developed? What are its limits? Free will is synonymous with human essence. This book examines some of the issues that are close to its majestic and mysterious heart. Will, Freedom & Destiny presents a comprehensive view of free will in Judaism. The fundamental questions of freedom and foreknowledge, the interaction between one person's free will and another's destiny, free will's boundaries and innate moral knowledge are explored in the light of classic Jewish sources, some presented for the first time in English. The subject is not only philosophical; its practical applications include controlling the will in overcoming ordeals, asserting the will against the attack of fantasy and illusion, consistently translating will into action, and perhaps most important, elevating the will in a revolutionary agenda of personal development.

Will, Freedom, and Destiny

Connection to a higher world seems almost hopeless to us; we do not even know what a real connection might look like. It is not that we have lost it; we feel as if we never had it to lose. We feel the space of centuries setting us apart from the age of miracles and prophecy. As we try to warm ourselves by that distant fire, we wonder - why is the world this way? Why is the era of revelation now only a story? And is there any way to bring that ancient story to life? This book examines the fading of revelation over history and points to the dawning of a new kind of light.
