Publisher's Note
Friends, family, love, God, death, faith. These are deceptively simple words that we use all the time. But do we know what we mean by these important words? Do we know what other people mean when they use them? Because we seldom pause to reflect on these words, we misunderstand others, and they misunderstand us. Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz explores some of the meanings of these powerful words that are so central to our lives. He transforms each word into a germ, turning it this way, then that, examining it to see more clearly its brilliant facets and what lies behind them. He challenges us to think deeply about the connotations of these commonplace words, and in so doing, to see that have taken for granted all our lives. Thus, our notion of "goodness" may become fluid rather than fixed; we way think ourselves not at all spiritual, yet find that we have a deeper involvement in the world of spirit than we realized; and, as Rabbi Steinsaltz explains, we may mean many different things when we use the word love. "Questions of Faith are not philosophical, sociological, or psychological; they are intensely personal," says Rabbi Steinsaltz. In SIMPLE WORDS, Rabbi Steinsaltz summarizes a lifetime of spiritual wisdom that will enrich our lives and open us to better and deeper communication with others. SIMPLE WORDS is a thought provoking and surprising adventure that change the way we think, speak, and act.

Industry Reviews
"In the hands of another writer, [SIMPLE WORDS] could have become just another exercise in ersatz American spirituality. What separates Steinsaltz is a deep grounding in Jewish tradition and a powerful, free thinking intellect. It's an intriguing mix, one that can inspire skeptics to reconsider the claims of true believers."
San Francisco Chronicle - Don Lattin (03/02/2000)
