What is the enduring spiritual power of Judaism? How have Jewish men and women from different walks of life, past and present, drawn on their faith to find spiritual meaning in their lives? In this collection of essays, scholars from a range of disciplines examine different paths to and expressions of spirituality in Judaism.
