Book Description
In a planet with a life-span of 6,000 years we are in year 5,767, leaving 233 years left on this earth. Man can achieve salvation or hasten destruction. This book offers insights into the universe and that have never been presented before. A finite definition of love and man's connection to God are all presented. A Linguistic approach is used to connote powerful ideas that will change your understanding of the universe. A new definition of wisdom is elaborated upon and the strength of the Rabbi's to dictate nature is discussed. Striking Iraq's nuclear power plant was a military engagement coupled with a pre-consultation with a renowned Talmudic scholar. Corporate aspirations, business ethics and the ever-present desire to accummulate wealth are staples of this memoir. In addition, mathematical formulas are applied to shed light on God's secrets. If you want an all-encompassing outlook on the universe and its impact on your existence then this is a must-read. The beauty of the Talmud will be illuminated through the eyes of one who lives with bipolar. There are 70 nations in the world, 70 faces to the Bible, 70 individuals that went down to Egypt and 70 secrets into God's thinking process.

Book Description
Searching for Meaning in Midrash explores the fascinating body of Jewish literature called Midrash—creative interpretations of the Bible that are designed to reveal hidden or deeper meaning in Scripture. Each of the over 50 midrashim sit next to its corresponding biblical text so that readers can compare them, along with commentary on the times and insights of the Rabbis who wrote each midrash. Readers are given guidance for answering “What does this text mean to me?”

Book Description
A literary critic's journey through the Talmud. Spurred by a curiosity about Daf Yomi--a study program launched in the 1920s in which Jews around the world read one page of the Talmud every day for 2,711 days, or about seven and a half years--Adam Kirsch approached Tablet magazine to write a weekly column about his own Daf Yomi experience. An avowedly secular Jew, Kirsch did not have a religious source for his interest in the Talmud; rather, as a student of Jewish literature and history, he came to realize that he couldn't fully explore these subjects without some knowledge of the Talmud. This book is perfect for readers who are in a similar position. Most people have little sense of what the Talmud actually is--how the text moves, its preoccupations and insights, and its moments of strangeness and profundity. As a critic and journalist Kirsch has experience in exploring difficult texts, discussing what he finds there, and why it matters. His exploration into the Talmud is best described as a kind of travel writing--a report on what he saw during his seven-and-a-half-year journey through the Talmud. For readers who want to travel that same path, there is no better guide.
