Off the Derech - And it is Fine

 


Enlightenment by Trial and Error: Ten Years on the Slippery Slopes of Jewish Spirituality, Postmodern Buddhism, and Other Mystical Heresies is fascinating and compelling.  The reader is struck by his ever-evolving evolution along the spiritual/religious/whatever path of the author.  Michaelson is relentless.  As I read, it became obvious that his quest (or non-quest) will go on and on. His derech is far from Orthodox – but for seekers or non-seeks or somehow both, this is an enriching and provocative work where no stone is left unturned.
