Time, Space, and Soul: A Three-fold Cord/Chord (Poems for a Renewed Jewish Liturgy)

Once, the medieval Jewish poets of Spain and Germany offered their best to the Jewish tradition, and their works were appreciated and incorporated into its liturgy. But since the Renaissance, many of the best artists have moved away from religion, leaving it impoverished and dependent on classic works. But in Time, Space, and Soul, Ken Rosenstein, a talented and highly original modern Jewish poet, once again gives us new and innovative poetry for the Jewish holidays and liturgy, poems on the Torah portions, as well as poignant and insightful poems on history, culture, and the self. Time, Space, and Soul, according to the earliest book of Jewish mysticism, Sefer Yetzirah, are the three fundamental dimensions of our Cosmos. They are also the dimensions that define this collection. Dip into them and find yourself renewed.

Time, Space, and Soul is a many textured outpouring of prayer poems that contemplative mystic Ken Rosenstein has woven, the product of his own profound life-journey as a scholar of a renewed Judaism. Replete with midrashic, kabbalistic, and liturgical allusions, Rosenstein's poems are a gift of the spirit.

Time, Space, and Soul are sacred entry points. Readers journey through each, carrying bones of ancestors past inquisition and exile toward freedom. Here the great arc of light reveals a single vibrating truth "You are there" "You are here".
- Carol Rose, author of From the Dream

Ken's unique poetic vision combines Bible, Kabbalah and philosophy to reveal worlds of meaning in Jewish traditions. His rich metaphorical writing challenges us to imagine and experience a deeper spirituality.
