"After Buber, after Heschel, Rabbi Zalman Schachter has come to give us a twenty-first century take on Hasidism. With a dazzling and playful erudition guaranteed to open your mind, Reb Zalman brings us to where Hasidism has always been, at the heart and soul of Jewish thought." -- Rodger Kamenetz, author, "The Jew in the Lotus" and "Stalking Elijah" "Like sitting at the feet of the Rebbe himself, this luminous book warms the soul and attunes the heart to the highest dimensions. In "Wrapped in a Holy Flame," Reb Zalman-- himself one of the greatest living Hasidic masters-- connects us to his own lineage of masters, the deepest of their teachings, and a lost world of wisdom for which we all long." -- Rabbi Tirzah Firestone, author, T"he Receiving: Reclaiming Jewish Women's wisdom" and "With Roots in Heaven" "Reb Zalman's ripe reflections and insights into these teachings and tales, particularly the chapters on Chabad, are essential reading for anyone seeking spiritual direction in the new millennium. The torchbearer for advancing Jew ish spirituality treats us to a lovingly generous account of Hasidism that is not only learned and wise, but most importantly, useful." -- Rabbi Miles Krassen, director, Gates of Eden; author, "Uniter of Heaven and Earth" Media > Book, [PU: Jossey-Bass Publishers]<
