"Torah Journeys" listed by Beliefnet as one of best Jewish books of 2006
Beliefnet blogger Rabbi Joshua Waxman names Torah Journeys: The Inner Path to the Promised Land by Rabbi Shefa Gold as one of the year's best Jewish books:Rabbi Gold has been a long-time teacher and song-leader in the Jewish Renewal movement, and her recordings of Jewish chant have been a point of entry for many into the words of our sacred texts. Her first book, Torah Journeys, is an exploration of the weekly portion written from the perspective of spiritual growth and development, and contains some remarkable insights and practices that are both profound and accessible.Ask for Torah Journeys at your local Jewish bookstore, buy it at Amazon, or save 10% and get free shipping from the publisher (limited time only).
