Karen Armstrong’s Sacred Nature Disparages Judaism
A Wilderness Rabbi’s Response
Please reprint or republish this article, or parts thereof, wherever you like (with proper attribution). My fear is that Jewish readers of Sacred Nature will think that in order to connect to the natural world, they must leave Judaism behind. It is important to respond to Armstrong's fallacious account of Jewish theology. Read the Article.

Explore the Art of Prayer
Join over fifty Jewish spiritual leaders from all denominations in a candid conversation about the why and how of prayer. In this fascinating forum, they share with you: "The best compliment I can give this book - and it deserves it - is that I wish it was available decades ago since it would have saved me a lot of stumbling around. This is the book every synagogue should give out to every Bar/Bat Mitzvah along with the requisite Tanach and trees planted in their honor in Israel. Indeed, if every rabbi made that gift then it would make a perceptible impact on the second Holocaust Jews face today - assimilation." — Nathan Schor |
God, Wilderness and Judaism
"Provocative, playful, profound, and thoughtful... Invites us into a world-embracing, wilderness-savoring faith. Reading this book will ground your soul - and it might just save our world." — Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson "Part holy book, part handbook, any Jew who has ever wondered how their Judaism, the world and their own soul can connect must read this book." — Dr. Jeremy Benstein |
