Enrich your spiritual practice with a
deeper understanding of Hebrew blessing.
A Hebrew blessing is a powerful
thing—a short, deeply meditative exercise exploring the
nature of God and the dynamic relationship between God, human
consciousness and the unfolding universe.
Written in clear, illuminating prose, this
book will guide you through the opening words of a Hebrew
blessing—six words which embody the depth of Jewish
spirituality—revealing how the letters and words combine
to promote joy and appreciation, wonder and thankfulness,
amazement and praise. Each word becomes an invitation to
discover the Presence of God flowing through even the smallest
actions of our lives.

In the ancient language of the Jewish
mystical tradition and the modern language of hasidism,
creation theology and psychology, The
Path of Blessing brings the words
of the Hebrew invocation dramatically alive.
“A rich, wise and joyous book!
Marcia Prager offers us an exhilarating adventure of the
spirit. Six seemingly ordinary Hebrew words become luminous
gateways into the inner riches of ancient and modern Jewish
wisdom.”

material.”
