Official synopsis Publisher
An old maxim states that a rabbi delivers three sermons every Shabbat morning. The first is the one he prepares. The second is the one he delivers, followed by the third which is the one he wishes he would have delivered. The bulk of this book is inspired by the third part of this adage. There are so many ideas, concepts and even proverbs which the author was eager to share with his congregants, students and friends. However, people’s lives are busy and few opportunities present themselves to express favorite and cherished perceptions and ideas. Since Rabbi Weinberg’s hobby is to cook, bake and putter in the kitchen, the thought struck him that an in-tellectual/spiritual “cholent recipe” encapsulated in the pages of a book might give him and his readers an enriching experience. The themes are eclectic and run a free course. They are culled from study, experience and much of what has been heard and observed. The reader is invited to enter this charming world of thought, hypo-thesis and speculation. Each essay will doubtless trigger many personal thoughts and experiences in its wake.
