Product Description

Review
"When I was a kid, I used to hide comic books behind my copy of the Bible. Having read FIVE CITIES OF REFUGE, I will now keep it behind my copy of the Bible. It is an invaluable midrash on familiar verses, bringing them alive to contemporary readers. Don't go to synagogue without it. Even if the sermon puts you to sleep, this will keep you awake."
"--" Alan Dershowitz
Author of "The Case for Israel"
"If you think everything to be said about the Bible has already been said, pick up this book of weekly reflections. You will find yourself surprised, awed, angry at times, and always engaged. Lawrence Kushner and David Mamet delve into some of the richest and most challenging of biblical texts and come up with original, often unconventional insights. Read it for learning--and for fun."
--Francine Klagsbrun
Author of "The Fourth Commandment"
"Lawrence Kushner and David Mamet are both study partners and creative spirits who have touched and inspired the lives of thousands during the course of their respective careers. Their collaboration in FIVE CITIES OF REFUGE has produced a work of rare insight, intelligence, and sensibility. Readers of the Bible will be enriched and moved by their reflections. I recommend this book most highly!"
-- David Ellenson, President
Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion

Synopsis
An exploration of the ancient Biblical text from two distinctly modern perspectives, this book offers a glimpse into two great minds of our day as they contend with the Biblical text, seeking an understanding of its personalities and commandments, paradoxes and ambiguities. Jewish spitituality, especially the Kabbalah, has attracted interest from all corners of society, notably celebrities such as Madonna. Kushner is a leading figure in this movement with over 200,000 books in Print in the US. Mamet is a Pulitzer Prize winner and Broadway writer whose countless fans will be curious to read this exploration of his spiritual side.
