Book Summary
Through creative interpretation of Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah, and Samuel, Dr. Cohen examines the fourteen places in the Bible where this powerful word is used. He shows in each biblical moment what the particular Hineini can teach modern readers about themselves and their willingness to respond to the "other"--be that God, their family members, or simply other human beings. Extraordinary scholars and spiritual leaders share personal stories that exemplify each one of the Hineini pasages. These inspiring vignettes remind us that our responses to other people can have a force that positively affects our relationships and the world in which we live, and the shape of the world yet to unfold. Contributors include: Alan Dershowitz Peter Pitzele Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso Neil Gillman Laura Geller Blu Greenberg Marcia Prager Les Bronstein Richard Jacobs Lawrence Kushner Harold Schulweis Phyllis Trible and Elie Weisel
