64p.; 23 cm. Illustrations. This is "a book which is in love with Jewish letters. It gives us a feeling whyich the Kabbalists always knew--that the letters of the alphabet are not just letters but symbols of our history, of our philosophy, and of the life of the Jewish people. In this respect this book is unique. " Isaac Bashevis Singer. Rabbi Kushner drew from ancient Judaic sources, weaving Talmudic commentary, Hasidic folk tales, and Kabbaslistic mysteries around the letters. Each letter is illuminated and, together with the comments, is presented in the author's original calligraphy, recalling the look and feel of ancient medieval manuscripts.
