Product Description

Review


“Libraries boasting a strong Judaica collection should add this intellectual delight.” ― Library Journal

“The translation into English is fluid and lively, and it will provide easy access to a rather difficult poet. Those who read Halevi in the original Hebrew may not be offered such a joyful opportunity. The commentaries are concise and to the point, and they provide sources and historical information that add substance to the text. To read Halevi through Rosenzweig’s lenses is a rare double treat for the contemporary Jewish intellectual in search of meaningful materials on God, Zion, Soul, etc.” ― Esther Fuchs, author of Israeli Mythogynies: Women in Contemporary Hebrew Fiction
