Sparks!: Bringing Light Back Into The World

By Shmuly M. Yanklowitz

With so much darkness and uncertainty in the world, how does one find the right path to spiritual clarity? One might just have to find the right SPARK of inspiration! In this newly collected edition of commentary, reviews, and philosophical essays, Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz offers guidance on how to navigate the murkiness of the world around us. Connecting the breadth of ancient and modern Jewish texts intertwined with secular scholarly insight, Rav Shmuly thoughtfully explores the dynamics of the post-modern Jewish condition, from expansive ruminations on the ethics of kosher laws and the limits of inter-religious tolerance, to more contemplative reflections about sacred space and spiritual mentorship. In SPARKS!, Rabbi Shmuly not only forcefully argues for bringing light back into the world, but that we are all responsible to ignite the flames of social justice and dignity for all."[Rav Shmuly] addresses these topics with great passion... Expanding the breadth and scope of [readers'] spiritual lives." - Rabbi Dov Lipman, Member of the Israeli Knesset"Rav Shmuly leaves no stone unturned halachically, socially, politically, and religiously" - Mayim Bialik, Ph.D, Emmy-Nominated Actress "The Big Bang Theory"
