Wisdom of the Heart: The Teachings of Rabbi Ya'akov of Izbica-Radzyn

In this fascinating book, Ora Wiskind-Elper introduces us to a figure who was ahead of his time: the Hasidic leader Rabbi Yaâ€™akov Leiner of Izbica-Radzyn. Her translations and interpretation of his writings present the Rabbiâ€™s central ideas in a compelling form to modern readers. Though Rabbi Yaâ€™akov lived a full century and a half ago, his teaching weaves midrash, medieval commentary, Kabbalah, and Hasidic thought together to create an innovative perspective on long-established Jewish concepts. His works, known as the Beit Yaâ€™akov fill four large volumes of commentary on the weekly Torah portions and the cycle of Jewish festivalsâ€”the traditional genre known as derashot. In exploring the diversity of the sources Rabbi Yaâ€™akov used for his reflections on Jewish life and spirituality, the author suggests he devoted uncommon attention to emotion, human, relationships, and gender issues. Thus, in many ways, Rabbi Yaâ€™akovâ€™s thought was extraordinary for its time and even for ours. Wiskind-Elperâ€™s insights touch readers on many different levelsâ€”intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically.
