Paperback

Price: $21.00

Overview

Edited by Nahum N. Glatzer
With a new Foreword by Rodger Kamenetz

“The question I put before you, as well as before myself, is the question of the meaning of Judaism for the Jews. Why do we call ourselves Jews? I want to speak to you not of an abstraction but of your own life . . . its authenticity and essence.” With these words, Martin Buber takes us on a journey into the heart of Judaism–its spirit, vision, and relevance to modern life.

Reviews
"To read Martin Buber is to encounter an extraordinary soul–and to rish changing your life . . . Unique, exhilarating, profound."
–David Wolpe, author of Why Be Jewish?

"When as an adult I first found myself wrestling with God, Torah, and Judaism, someone handed me these essays of Martin Buber. I found them, and subsequently all of Buber's work, speaking deeply and wisely to my life-situation, inviting me into a conversation that has continued through the quarter-century since. To anyone who is newly attracted to, or deeply involved in, Jewish renewal, I recommend them for at least a quarter-century's worth of wonderful exploration."
–Arthur Waskow, author of Down-to-Earth Judaism

"How good it is to be reminded of the richness of Martin Buber's early thought, of his passion, of his power as a teacher, even as a prophet. This collection, with Rodger Kamenetz's foreword, will be of great value to all concerned with the revitalization of Judaism today."
–Jonathan Omer-man, Metivta Institute
