About the Author

With the publication of Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, Tzvi Freeman shot into the spotlight as one of the foremost teachers of inner Jewish wisdom. Today, his Daily Dose of Wisdom from Chabad.org has one of the largest subscriptions on the Jewish Net. The weekly Freeman Files, answering real people on real issues, fans out to countless cyberfans. And his Heaven Exposed series gets across the stickiest issues of Kabala in spicy, sci-fi dramas. Tzvi Freeman has built a reputation for delivering the authentic inner wisdom of Judaism in highly original, bite-size packages. Tzvi Freeman was born in Vancouver, Canada, where he became involved at an early age in Yoga, Tao and radical politics. In 1970, he was a founding member of Total Education, an alternative high school. In 1975, he left a career as a classical guitarist and composer to study Talmud and Jewish mysticism for nine years. He received rabbinical ordination at the Lubavitch Central Yeshiva in New York and completed post-graduate studies at the Rabbinical College of Canada.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dancing With The Rebbe 12 Dec 2001
By Marc Ruby™ - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was an early casualty of the faith of my parents. Not particularly religious themselves, they left me with a sense of the form of our religion, but no picture whatever of it's content. This wasn't their fault, it was simply very much the way we were in the 50's and 60's. My own spiritual needs left unmet by my faith of origin, I drifted from the time I entered college, first as an atheist, and then as almost every kind of theist one can imagine.

Eventually I found a place that suits me spiritually, in which I can dwell and feel no need to convert the unfaithful. From within this place, I have rediscovered a desire to spend some time reaping the wisdom of the religion I always took for granted, the one I was born into. This is not necessarily a comfortable journey for me but one it has been time to make for a while.

One of the things I had never come to understand about Judaism until well into college was the tremendous mystical richness of Judaism. What makes this mysticism special is its refusal to abandon the world in which we make our way. From Jewish mystics and rebbes we expect practical advice as well as inspiration. Rebbe Menachem Schneerson was for many years the premier spokesman for the Lubavitcher tradition of mystical Judaism. A man who valued humility, wisdom, affection, humor and a deep abiding faith.

Tzvi Freeman has taken the time to compile the essence of Rebbe Schneerson's meditations and teachings. This is simple, direct writing that would touch anyone, Jewish or not. Short sections that can be read a paragraph at a time and meditated upon at will. We are invited to take our beliefs out of the ivory tower and apply them in the world. The first recommendation for the spiritual treatment of illness is 'find a good doctor and follow his instructions.' The fourth is 'Increase your study of the inner light of the Torah.'

This kind of wisdom is good for all to use. I would recommend "Bringing Heaven Down to Earth" not just to crabby old men such as I, but to anyone who finds themselves sometimes a seeker or wishes to understand more of the depths of Judaism.

5.0 out of 5 stars well-written thoughts that you will have to read again! 5 Jan 2000
By Howard E. Aldrich - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
this book is immediately available (once out of print) and is easily read and enjoyed but then you realize that you will have to re-read the selections as they contain more of a message than you first perceived! good print-size and compact book to have and to carry around.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for people of all faiths 22 Feb 2001
By J. Huber - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful book with incredible wisdom. Rebbe Scheerson was a holy man. His wisdom is for all people. This is simply a book people need to read. It gives a blueprint for getting thru this life without harming one another. One certainly does not have to be Jewish to understand and appreciate the writings of the Rebbe. He has a message for all of us.
