Writings on the Five Books of Moses
by Deborah Masel
CD included with selected readings ~ narrated
by Rachael Kohn, music by Adam Starr

Speakers: Sam Lipski AM and Dr Avivah Zornberg

Here is the heart of the matter, the quintessence
of desire... Here in the stillness of the watch,
in a whirl of desert wind, we sit and learn the
sacred art of traveling.

Deborah Masel?s meditations on the Five Books of
Moses come from deep study, yet they are effusive.
The dialogue between the ancient text and the modern
writer is dramatic.

As she says herself, ?We are brought out to tell the
story, and through the telling we are brought out.?
Her insights lift us to a realization of how we may
live now.

Drawing from a rich imaginative knowledge of midrashic
and hassidic commentary on the Bible, she creates a very
personal mythology of death and life, darkness and light,
void and meaning. Passionately searching, her words draw
together fragments of hidden beauty.
Dr Avivah Zornberg
