Hasidic Wisdom: Sayings from the Jewish Sages is among the many
lifelong efforts of Rabbi Simcha Raz, one of Jerusalem's leading
teachers, writers, and educators. The original book in Hebrew is
titled Pitgamay Hasidim. It has been a perennial best-seller in
Israel for the past fifteen years and is now in its 8th edition.
The book is divided into thirty brief chapters on issues that have
relevance to every human being: love and hate, faith, truth, the
inner life, heaven and hell, leadership, loneliness, friendship,
piety, anger, music, poverty, righteousness, prayer, charity, and
repentance. Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins has been translating various
selections of the book for his sermons, lectures, and classes since
he first bought the Hebrew book in the mid-1980s. After countless
listeners and readers asked him for the source of the hasidic
quotations, he decided to translate the entire book into English,
to make it available for a more diverse audience. Enlisting the
assistance of his son, Jonathan, a freelance writer and television
reporter in Israel, the two men collaborated on the project to
render the Hebrew into idiomatic English, and to preserve its
traditional nuances. The reader will find in this newest and most
clearly focused treasure of hasidic doctrine a touching,
heartwarming collection of profound revelations on spirituality,
Torah, human relationships, and personal growth.
