God In All Moments: Mystical and Practical Spiritual Wisdom from Hasidic Masters Book

The Hasidic masters often shared short lists of spiritual advice for everyday living with their followers. These notes were copied, carried from place to place, held as treasures, and shared with others. These teachings profoundly summarized how to be intentional in religious practice, how to cultivate everyday ethical behavior, and how to deepen spirituality in our relationships. Practical and personal, these brief teachings are contemplative, and many are designed as visualization exercises, meditations, and mantras. God in All Moments captures this unique genre of Hasidic literature, known as hanhagot, for the contemporary spiritual seeker. Along with a brief introduction to Hasidism and the role of hanhagot in Hasidic life, this inspiring collection includes seventy-five poetic translations from the eighteen century masters that serve as aphorisms for everyday living. Drawing from kabbalistic and Hasidic texts, God in All Moments also includes one complete list of hanhagot from the Hasidic master R.
