Meditations at Sixty: Kashrut, Modesty, Mourning, Prayer and Love »

Judaism is unique in its articulation of the relationship between body and soul; the physical and the spiritual. The meditations included in this volume explore the depth of that relationship in ways that allow the individual reader to begin to divine greater meaning in his or her life. It is important to engage in this discussion because the demands of our modern world have thrown the two powerfully out of balance even affecting the inner meaning of Kashrut, modesty and honesty.
