Includes
the original Hebrew text of Oros HaTeshuvah, a new translation into
English by Yaacov Dovid Shulman, and commentary in English from Rabbi
Moshe Weinberger.
Volume 4 is the final volume in this series.
“Teshuvah – repentance – does not come to embitter life but to sweeten
it.” HaRav Avraham Yitzchak HaKohen Kook wrote these inspiring words in
Oros HaTeshuvah, a work in which he delivers the message that teshuvah
is not a somber process of self-deprivation but a joyful journey back to
Hashem and to the core of who we are.
When Oros HaTeshuvah was
published in 1925, it was immediately accepted as a classic of Jewish
thought and hailed for its brilliance of ideas, warmth of feeling, depth
of psychological insight, holiness of spirit and mastery of Torah
knowledge.
However, because of the difficulty of its language
and the profusion of its exalted concepts, Oros HaTeshuvah has remained
for many a sealed book.
Now Rav Moshe Weinberger, Mara D’Asra
of Congregation Aish Kodesh in Woodmere, New York, has composed a
commentary that reveals the treasures embedded within Oros HaTeshuvah.
Based on an extensive knowledge of Jewish philosophical and
inspirational literature, Rav Weinberger’s commentary is profound,
moving and fresh, richly explicating Oros HaTeshuvah’s ideas in a clear
and accessible but not superficial manner. His masterful expositions on a
variety of topics (such as the difference between depression and a
broken heart) are both lucid and invigorating.
This book will
fulfill the hopes of those who are looking for a holy text written in a
contemporary style that will inspire them to renew their spiritual
passions, strengthen their religious commitments and energize their
personal growth.
