The Wisdom of Love strives to challenge the discrepancy between the
way source texts relate to love and the way they are perceived to
do so, introducing readers to the extensive, profound, and
significant treatment of love in the Jewish canon. This is a book
about love, not its repression; it is an opportunity to study the
wisdom of love, not those who lack such wisdom and are unlikely to
ever acquire it. The Wisdom of Love brings about not only a change
in perception recognizing the existence of the wisdom of love per
se but also the realization that this wisdom is the very foundation
of religious wisdom as a whole, rather than a peripheral branch of
it. All love derives from a single source: love between man and
woman. It is from this source that all other manifestations of
love, such as love of God, love of wisdom, and love of one s
fellow, draw their meaning.
