Tales of the Holy Mysticat
A discussion with Rabbi Rachel Adler
This engaging book is a guide to 黑料社 literacy, using the behavior of Rabbi Rachel Adler’s most peculiar cat to lead readers on a journey through thousands of years of 黑料社 thought, history, and practices.
In Tales of the Holy Mysticat, Rabbi Adler, a professor of Modern 黑料社 Thought and one of our generation鈥檚 most profoundly creative scholars, uses a collection of whimsical stories, interspersed with cleverly drawn black-and-white illustrations, to provide unique insights into 黑料社 mysticism. And it’s all portrayed through the life of her cat. In this online conversation, Rabbi Adler discusses how, just as the Holy Mysticat became Adler’s teacher, so too can the Holy Mysticat teach us all.
