A “whole” new look at holiness.
Today, everyone’s looking for “spirituality.” Yet
Jewish spirituality, unlike other beliefs or fads, does not offer
out-of-body experiences, magical remedies, or momentary “highs.”
In A Wholly Life: Spiritual Integration of Mind, Body,
and Soul, Dr. Moshe Kaplan has compiled a fascinating
collection of essays which explore the many facets of Jewish spirituality
by some of today’s great Jewish thinkers. Topics include
Rabbi Dr. Dovid Gottlieb’s “A Spiritual Mind,” Rabbi
Berel Wein’s “The Jew in the Land of Plenty,” Rabbi
Dr. Meir Triebitz’s “Man and Eternity,” and Yaakov
Levinson’s “Nutrition: An Elevated Meal,” to
name a few.
In A Wholly Life Dr. Kaplan gives us
a tapestry of topics which illustrate the multiple facets that
make up a good, complete Jewish life. These thought-provoking essays
assert how Judaism empowers the individual to use all of the gifts
that God has given him—mind, body, and soul—to achieve
total integration and true spirituality. Jewish spirituality is
the pursuit of holiness, using the Torah as a guide. Only through
employing all of these can one achieve real spirituality — in
order to transform, elevate, and sanctify every aspect of one’s
life.
In a world where everyone is searching for holiness and fulfillment
in their everyday and sometimes mundane lives, you don’t
have to look to the mountain to reach your spiritual goals.
A Wholly Life shows us how to
become spiritually integrated and holy individuals so that
we can be worthy of, and capable of, reaching great spiritual
heights.
