Marcia Prager’s The
Path of Blessing: Experiencing the Energy and Abundance of the Divine, is
an extremely gentle, soft examination of the constellation of blessings which
accompany Jewish religious life. She
focuses on the most used Baruck ata…
formula, using each word of the generic part of the blessing as the jumping off
point for examination and exegesis.
Prager was taught by Rabbi Zalman Schacter-Shalomi,
so his imprint is all over this work. The
Jewish Renewal text presented here is definitely for beginners, not for people
more advanced in their study of Judaism, who will quickly become bored or
frustrated with Prager’s often elemental interpretations.
