Judaism's 10 Great Ideas

The series of little talks is a collection of ten teachings, bits of wisdom I have gleaned from a half-century of living within the Jewish tradition. Keeping in mind the widest possible audience, I asked myself: "What are the most essential teachings that Judaism has to offer the world?"

This selection is in part a reading of Judaism from the viewpoint of the Jewish mystical tradition which I have been studying and teaching for nearly half a century. Unknown to most Jews in modern times, the writings of Jewish mystical sages are now being examined to gain a historical understanding and to see what may be retrieved to enrich and even revive contemporary Jewish life. I feel deeply privileged to have some small part in that process.
