{"product_id":"hearts-minds-ii","title":"Hearts \u0026 Minds II","description":"In this new collection of articles by Rabbi Pini Dunner, he looks at Jewish holidays and other important dates in the Jewish calendar, tackling every subject imaginable, uncovering the most obscure information and exploring the most remote of ideas in his quest to shed light on the topic at hand. Rabbi Dunner enjoys embracing a broad range of knowledge, relishing in both breadth and depth, to show that any topic or idea can be linked to the core principles of Judaism and can be connected to the rich history of Jewish culture. In his introduction, Rabbi Dunner writes about his own memories and personal experiences, which underpin, for him, every special date in the Jewish “Memories turn each festival and each significant Jewish date into a combination of history, tradition, Jewish laws and customs, memories, nostalgia, and new experiences. And the result is so much greater than any one of those individual components. Every wine stain on the pages of the Haggadah we use. Every forgotten High Holidays schedule that we left tucked into the pages of the maḥzor. The special yomtov-connected drawings that our kids gave us when they were at pre-school, that suddenly reappear at the relevant time of year. The smell of yomtov food cooking in the kitchen. Each one of these and so many more – too many to mention – are the kaleidoscope of our Jewish experience which add color, context, and meaningfulness to the festival experience, augmenting the practical aspects of the festivals and notable Jewish dates that punctuate our lives.” Rabbi Dunner’s articles are truly unique. The format is he takes a general interest topic, dissects it, and then connects it to the Jewish topic of focus, shedding light on it in a way that both informs and inspires. The connections can be remote and unexpected, but they are always original. Rabbi Dunner’s articles are published as a weekly column in Algemeiner, and have also appeared in the Jewish Journal and in Times of Israel.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1736189018\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1736189018.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pini Dunner\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
