The Perfect Society the ancient ceremony of bringing the first-fruits to the Temple in Jerusalem – pageantry in a utopian key.
The Imperfect Society Rabbi Shimon ben Yochai’s thirteen years hiding in a cave – a reflection of his grappling with Roman rule and with the human condition.
“This work dealing with Rav Kook’s view of the cosmic purpose of the individual Jew and of his general Jewish society, is an outstanding vision of greatness, hope and challenge. Rabbi Naor is to be thanked for exposing the English-reading Jewish public to this masterpiece. No one who reads this book can help but be touched by its nobility and passion.” —Rabbi Berel Wein
“Whoever reads this book will find therein precious pearls”– Rabbi Aharon Soloveichik zt”l
Kabbalah and Hasidism juxtaposed to the surrealist art of Marc Chagall.
Working with the model of the medieval bestiary, noted thinker Bezalel Naor explores the depths of human relation by way of a tour de force of Talmudic, Medieval Philosophic, Kabbalistic and Hasidic literature.
The Kabbalah of Relation juxtaposes images of surrealist painter Marc Chagall to ancient kabbalistic texts. Thereby, the texts and images bounce off one another. The images illuminate the texts (quite traditional for medieval manuscripts) and vice versa: the texts illuminate the images! So simultaneously, one has an artistic commentary to the Kabbalah, and a kabbalistic commentary to Chagall’s Surrealist Art.
