Eternally Yours - Numbers: God's Greatest Gift to Mankind - Paperback

by Rabbi Reuven Mann (Author)

Some of the most dramatic and gut-wrenching episodes in the Bible occur in Numbers. We read about the rebellion over the Manna, the calamitous conspiracy of the Spies, the unthinkable revolt of Korah against the religious authority of his cousin Moses and much more; how Jews, on the cusp of their glorious invasion and conquest of the Promised Land, experienced a halt to their forward march that culminates in God's decree that the Nation would wander in the wilderness for forty years. But despite these tragedies, Numbers, the 4th Book of the Bible, is a story of tragedy and hope. In Eternally Yours: Numbers, Rabbi Reuven Mann explores the deeper teachings in these stories in an incisive and original manner. He demonstrates their relevance to the problems we face in contemporary life. These Biblical events are not mere history: they contain deep insights into the human condition and address vitally important matters such as the real character of faith, true courage, religious envy, and food lust.Rabbi Mann explains how, in spite of all the setbacks the Jews experienced, their ultimate goal was achieved and, that this pattern epitomizes the attitude we should have to the failures and setbacks we all experience. Numbers, a Book of Failure and Hope, models the mindset and philosophy every person can and should employ on the journey of life.Titles include: "Reverence for The Soul""Spiritual Dining""Sins of The Leaders""Rebellion in The Wilderness""The Power of a Curse""Jews By Choice""The Vindicated Adulteress""Judaism Must Inspire Unity And Love"
