Seasons of the Soul

"Deeply moving.has revived the beauty of the Jewish tradition."
—Jack Kornfield, Western Buddhist master & author

"Guided by the wisdom and creative insight of Reb Zalman and Michael Kagan, Seasons of the Soul is a soft and gentle introduction to the deepest riches of the Jewish holy days. This video deserves a home in every Jewish library, personal and institutional."
—Rabbi Rami Shapiro, author, Hasidic Tales: Annotated and Explained and Minyan: Ten Principles for Living a Life of Integrity.

"Seasons of the Soul is an excellent video that portrays the Jewish festival cycle in a moving, nature-based setting, with meaningful, Kabbalistic and contemporary interpretations given by one of the generations' master teachers, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi. This educational tool will be a major addition to the armamentarium of every creative Jewish educator."
—Rabbi Dov Peretz Elkins, co-author, Chicken Soup for the Jewish Soul, and author, The Bible's Top Fifty: The Most Important Ideas in Scripture That Everyone Should Know.

"I found watching Seasons of the Soul a deeply moving religious experience. The photography is powerful, the music is sweet, and the insights are many and profound. I recommend it wholeheartedly to those who are in search of a gateway into the Jewish way, to those who love nature and to those whose hearts are open to the holy. In the words of one of the songs in this film, I came away feeling that I had been 'silent amidst miracles' and I was uplifted."
—Rabbi Jack Riemer, author, Wrestling with the Angel: Jewish Insights on Death and Mourning and Ethical Wills: A Modern Jewish Treasury.

"A lyrical and inspiring view of the Jewish holidays seen through the eyes of two master teachers. Poetic and moving."
—USC Professor Mark Harris, Academy Award Winner - Filmmaker, Best Documentary: Into the Arms of Strangers and The Long Way Home.

"What detailed insights the Jewish religion is built on! What profound connections between the mysteries of nature and the mysteries of my own Jewish Soul! Seasons of the Soul.made me feel happy, proud of and interested in my own Jewishness."
—Jordan Gruber, editor, Enlightment.com
