A Blessing in itself!

Rabbi Marcia Prager is an active Reconstructionist and Jewish Renewal Teacher, a storyteller in the tradition of great Hassidc Rebbes. Listening to the voice of the Shekhinah, applying the teachings of Baal Shem Tov -- "Enter into every letter with all your strength, God dwells in every letter and as you enter it, you become one with God" -- Rabbi Marcia Prager explores the opening words of a Jewish blessing -- Barukh Ata Adonay Eloheynu Melech Ha'olam (Blessed art Thou, Lord our God, King of the Universe) -- and takes us into another dimension, one of mystical and spiritual fulfillment. This is real "kavvanah!" A wonderful guide for the enrichment of our daily life, not through the obsessed materialism of our era, but through the use of spiritual practice of blessing. It is so simple and at the same time so deep and profound.

A Light to Behold

Bravo! Rabbi Prager has gifted us with a book that balances deep teachings with language that is both welcoming and accessibile. If you have ever read a prayer and wondered "what's this formula all about?" this book is for you. Using stories to illuminate her rich prose, Rabbi Prager has provided an opportunity for us all to dive deeply into the opening words of every prayer blessing. Not just a book, but a spirit-map guiding us towards a closer relationship with prayer, each other, and the divine.

A great companion to take on your journey along the path

If you have ever hoped to find a book that would help you be more present in the moment, be more grateful for the blessings in your life, or face each day with renewed hope, Marcia Prager's book, "The Path of Blessing," would be the book for you. Prager reminds us of the value of blessings - how we might begin to experience the world in a different way after learning more about and including blessings in our daily practice and becoming more aware of the blessings bestowed on us. She writes "Imagine if at every moment we each embraced the world as the gift it is". We learn where God is in all this when we read "On the path of blessing, we are reminded that the whole world is an expression of divine energy." Prager also includes a handy appendix of blessings for specific occasions (eating bread, drinking wine, seeing a rainbow, lighting holiday candles, etc.). No matter where you are on the path of your learning or practice, this book will deepen your awareness of the bounty of blessings that is available to us, if we only tap in to it.

Sparking the Spiritual Imagination

The Path of Blessing resonates with me beyond words, but oddly it is precisely the language which sparks my spiritual imagination. It is the most significant writing that has moved my consciousness in such a profound way that I have read in several years. I have been reading from various traditions looking for common truths, and this book weaves so many loose ends together. I am especially moved by the spiritual architecture of the Hebrew language which has opened up a new awareness within me about why language can resonate so profoundly on many levels simultaneously.

A simple Hebrew blessing is a powerful thing--a one-minute, deeply meditative exercise exploring the nature of the Creative Force we call God and the dynamic relationship between God, human consciousness, and the unfolding universe.

In The Path of Blessing Rabbi Marcia Prager guides us through the opening words of a Hebrew blessing--six words which embody the depth of Jewish spirituality--revealing how the letters and words combine to promote joy and appreciation, wonder and thankfulness, amazement and praise. Each word becomes a stepping stone inviting us to discover the infinitely abundant Presence of God flowing through even the smallest actions of our lives.

In the ancient language of Jewish tradition and the modern language of feminist consciousness, creation theology, and psychology, Marcia Prager brings the words of the Hebrew invocation dramatically alive.
