Filled with fire and light : portraits and legends from the Bible, Talmud, and Hasidic world / by Wiesel, Elie,1928-2016,author.(CARDINAL)140170; Rosen, Alan(Alan Charles),editor,writer of introduction.;
"Magnificent insights into the lives of biblical prophets and kings, Talmudic sages, and Hasidic rabbis, from one of the world's most honored and beloved teachers. From a multitude of sources, Elie Wiesel culls facts, legends, and anecdotes to give us fascinating portraits of notable figures throughout Jewish history--from the Kingdom of Israel in the ninth century B.C.E. to nineteenth-century Eastern Europe. Here is the prophet Elisha, the beloved disciple of Elijah--wonder-worker and advisor to kings, whose deep compassion for those in need is matched only by his fiery temper. Here is the renowned scholar Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, whose ingenuity in escaping from Jerusalem on the eve of its destruction by Titus's Roman legions in 70 C.E. laid the foundations for the rabbinic teachings and commentaries that both revolutionized the practice and study of Judaism and sustained the Jewish people for 2,000 years of ongoing exile. And here is Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad Hasidism, languishing in a Czarist jail in St. Petersburg in 1798 for 53 days, the victim of a false accusation, engaging in theological discussions with his jailers that would form the basis for Chabad's legendary method of engagement with the world at large. The contributions to the Jewish experience made by these and other spiritual masters profiled in this book have been profound and eternal. In recounting their life stories, and in delving into the struggles of human beings trying to create meaningful lives touched with sparks of the divine, Wiesel challenges and inspires us all to find purpose and transcendence in our own lives"--Introduction by Alan Rosen -- From the Bible. Elisha: The perfect disciple -- King Josiah: Fighting against idolatry -- God in the Torah: The five books of Moses -- From the Talmud. Rabbi Yohanan and Resh Lakish: The sage and the adventurer -- Rabbi Yohanan be Zakkai: The hope of the word -- Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus: A minority of one -- Satan in ancient memories -- From the Hasidic world. Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi: A commitment to fervor -- A different master: Rabbi Uri of Strelisk, the Seraph.
