On the Road with Rabbi Steinsaltz: 25 Years of Pre-Dawn Car Trips, Mind-Blowing Encounters, and Inspiring Conversations with a Man of Wisdom
Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz is internationally regarded as one of the most brilliant and influential rabbis of our time. He has been lauded by Time magazine as a "once-in-a-millennium scholar" and by Ted Koppel of Night Line as "one of the very few wise men that I've ever met."
Arthur Kurzweil--himself a Jewish scholar, author, teacher, and publisher--has been a disciple of Rabbi Steinsaltz's for over 25 years, as well as the Rabbi's designated chauffer in the United States. While stuck in countless traffic jams and attending the Rabbi's lectures at universities, government agencies, synagogues and seminars, Arthur Kurzweil has had the rare opportunity of personally learning from his inspired teacher and has become intimately familiar with the Rabbi's wisdom and teachings.

This book reveals the multiple aspects and facets of this great man. It is a heart felt book... more info
Memoirs with a Sage:
Arthur Kurzweil has been a leading figure in Jewish publishing in America for more than 20 years.

The author is honest, straightforward, and enlightening in this thought-provoking book. Highly recommended.

THE WAY OF SPLENDOR: JEWISH MYSTICISM AND MODERN PSYCHOLOGY
Entertaining, but not quite inspiring:
This is a wonderful collection of anecdotes by Mr. Kurzweil, a wonderful teacher in his own right. However he just doesn't quite communicate what he finds so inspiring about his own teacher, Rabbi Steinsaltz. The book left me a bit frustrated and wanting more examples of those teachings.
He truly got himself a teacher:
We are instructed by 'Pirke Avot' to get ourselves a Rabbi, a teacher, a spiritual guide. Arthur Kurzweil took this teaching seriously and has for many years questioned, dialogued with and learned with his own chosen teacher. In this very rich and instructive intellectual and spiritual adventure story Kurzweil tells of his meetings and talks with his revered teacher, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz.
Kurzweil also tells his own story of return to Judaism, and something of Rabbi Steinsaltz's story. Rabbi... more info
