With his book On Judaism, Buber takes us on a journey into the heart of Judaism--its spirit, vision, and relevance to modern life.
"To read Martin Buber is to encounter an extraordinary soul--and to risk changing your life...Unique, exhilarating, profound."--David Wolpe, author of Why Be Jewish?
"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
