Soul of a People e-bog

Soul of a People is the creative retelling of the Odyssey of the Jewish people traversing the expanse and vicissitudes of their history from the Creation through the Prophets to the birth of a new nation and an Ingathering of a dispersed people. This collection of verses and stories, as seen through a modern eye, provides access to the ongoing struggles of the Jewish people to remain alive and to preserve, embody, and pass down God's message from Mount Sinai. Connecting past with present and future, and anchored in the Jewish imperative to remember, this collection creates a tapestry through time documenting the injustices and the extraordinary acts of courage of everyday heroes. The reader is transformed in the process of remembering through the great struggles of our history--linking each of us one by one from the personal to the collective. Ultimately the triumph of the Jewish people to prevail through adversity is preserved over and over again through our striving to find The Creator in us and in all that we do. Soul of a People invites each of us to recognize and live that connection in our daily lives. In the author's words: "e;Incomplete we will always be. Striving for the ideal is our destiny."e;
