A great moral leader's wonderful words

Rabbi Harold Schulweis is one of the greatest living rabbis. His insights on human behavior, morality and G-d are valuable for Jew and Gentile alike. This slim book is a pleasure to read. I am privileged to call him my rabbi and have a signed copy of his great book.
