For twenty-five years, Rabbi Harold Kushner served as the congregational rabbi of Temple Israel in Natick, Massachusetts, speaking each week with understanding and compassion to his congregants. While readers across the world embraced his writing, it is only these congregants in Natick who have heard his spoken words - until now. ECHOES OF SINAI collects over two decades of Rabbi Kushner's most popular sermons, exploring questions as essential as "What Makes Life Worth Living," "To Be an Authentic Human Being," and more. The sermons are as compelling as they are thought-provoking and as personal as they are universal. Together, they affirm Rabbi Kushner's status as one of our great humanists.
Harold S. Kushner is rabbi laureate of Temple Israel in the Boston suburb of Natick, Massachusetts. A native of Brooklyn, New York, he is the author of more than a dozen books on coping with life’s challenges, including, most recently, the best-selling Conquering Fear and Overcoming Life’s Disappointments.
The book itself is a five but after the halfway point it is so riddled with wrong words (ears for years for example) and incorrect spelling it becomes very distracting. Still, if you know this going in, you will be richer for the reading.
