Heart And Scroll: Stories From The Masters - Paperback

by Dov Peretz Elkins (Author), Simcha Raz (Author)

LARGE PRINT EDITION: Nuggets of Ethical Teachings and Wise Insights: In the course of many generations a host of edifying stories about the spiritual giants of the Jewish People have accumulated. This collection in "Heart and Scroll: Heartfelt Stories From The Masters" assembles the acumen and vision of a multitude of teachers of the Jewish People, in many generations: men of piety, righteousness, unquestionable integrity, high principles and moral values. They cover subjects such as relations between people, between humans and their Maker, and between an individual and his own soul. Eli Wiesel, author and Nobel Prize Laureate, said "The telling of the Hasidic tale is a special skill and one that Simcha Raz knows well. It is truly a pleasure to observe how he has regenerated and restored legends and tales drawn from the wellspring of Hasidic lore."
