You will encounter a profound thinker who often finds merit in both sides of an argument. Rabbi Karff is a master in wrestling with "creative tensions." After sharing his deliberations, he decisively takes a stand. We learn that while some tensions can be resolved, there are others with which we must learn to live. Samuel Karff is the spiritual heir of the medieval rabbis who created agada, the stories that enrich and illuminate the Jewish tradition, and the love of agada infuses his work. In elegant, vivid prose, these pages reflect an evolving rabbinate, from Ordination Address through valedictory High Holy Day Sermons. Rabbi Karff has earned the love and respect of his congregants for the wisdom and Inspiration of his pulpit messages, as well as the admiration of rabbinic and academic colleagues for the scholarly insights of his writing. You will delight in this collection of sermons and essays gleaned from a long and distinguished career of preaching and teaching, both in and out of the pulpit. Traditionally the title "Rav" has bestowed upon the great teachers of an era. Both for those who are unfamiliar with his words and for those who have long treasured them, this book affords a glimpse into the soul of Rav Samuel Egal Karff. ~Harvey L. Gordon.
