{"product_id":"the-thirteen-petalled-rose-adin-steinsaltz-9780465082728","title":"The Thirteen Petalled Rose: A Discourse on the Essence of Jewish Existence and Belief","description":"From Madonna's music videos to the glossy pages of celebrity magazines and back to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Jewish mysticism has stepped into the modern consciousness like never before. In this classic work, world-renowned scholar Adin Steinsaltz answers the major questions asked by modern Jews about the nature of existence in God's universe. The title \u003ci\u003eThe Thirteen Petalled Rose\u003c\/i\u003e is taken from the opening of the classic Jewish text on mysticism, the Zohar, and refers to the \"collective souls of the Jewish people,\" which scholars have likened to the fullness of a rose and its thirteen petals. Along with a new preface by the author, this edition contains a new chapter on prayer that provides the most up-to-date account of the Kabbalistic view of devotion. Another new chapter recounts and interprets the prophet Elijah's Introduction to the Zohar. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Steinsaltz possesses a mind of the quality that occurs perhaps once or twice in a generation, or several generations . . . In [\u003ci\u003eThe Thirteen Petalled Rose\u003c\/i\u003e] one can encounter the classical Jewish mystical view of reality, delineated lucidly, concisely, profoundly and, what is so rare, believingly. It is an utterly authentic expression of Judaism yet so unknown even among the well-informed and therefore so necessary, so welcome.\" (Herbert Weiner, Oxford University)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adin Steinsaltz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0465082726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780465082728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.31w x 0.60d","brand":"Adin Steinsaltz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044517212415,"sku":"9780465082728","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_715e60db-c710-4192-b393-99a1c75df18b.jpg?v=1684973305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-thirteen-petalled-rose-adin-steinsaltz-9780465082728","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
