It offers hope, courage and inspiration to all who long to find or renew a congregation with spirit, learning, art, sustainability and radical hospitality." --Rabbi Rachel Cowan, senior fellow, Institute for Jewish Spirituality "Rabbi B and Ellen Frankel have opened their hearts, directed their minds, and shared their soulfulness so that a path long covered is again revealed! We are invited to dance our liberation, and the ancient incense of Torah ascends through their wondrous insights." -- Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson , dean, Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies; vice president, American Jewish University; author, Passing Life's Tests: Spiritual Reflections on The Trial of Abraham, the Binding of Isaac "Inspiring!
