Rabbi Jonathan Slater served for over 20 years as a core faculty member and program director for the Institute for Jewish Spirituality. In that capacity, he inspired and trained a generation of rabbis, cantors, educators, and laypeople, and cultivated the field of neo-Hasidic spirituality and contemplative Jewish spiritual practice through his writing, teaching, spiritual guidance, and personal example.This volume collects the wisdom of more than 60 outstanding Jewish spiritual leaders, all teachers, colleagues, and students of Rabbi Slater. As a tribute to his influence on them, they offer brief but deep teachings and practical suggestions for spiritual practice, grounded in the weekly Torah portions, the Jewish holiday cycle, and core Jewish liturgical prayers.
