Avot Hashem »

This is a collection of in-depth interviews with twenty one distinguished teachers of Judaism held by Sholom Freedman. As in his previous remarkable volume, In The Service of God: Conversations with Teachers of Torah in Jerusalem, Freedman has identified some of the most creative and esteemed individuals in the Jewish world, and discusses with them a wide range of topics, with special focus on the Jewish notion of Avodat Hashem, the service of God. This distinguished list includes Rabbis Adin Steinsaltz, Emanual Feldman, David Hartman, and Betel Wein, to name just a few of the extraordinary educators, writers, rabbis, and philosophers who have entered into dialogue with Sholom Freedman.
