The Gate Behind The Wall: a Pilgrimage to Jerusalem

What an awesome book. I loved it. I have always wanted to know more about Orthodox Judaism and the study of Torah. Samuel Heilman beautifully portrays his own search with rich text and description. This is a book to feast on. I will read it again and again. I learned so much and the images and ideas have encouraged me to continue my own search. Thank you Mr. Heilman for sharing this adventure with your readers. You have given me words when before I had none.
