About the Book

A groundbreaking study, this record introduces the virtually unknown story of Sufi influence on the development of Jewish mysticism. Illustrating that the Jewish religion was completely reconfigured due to sustained medieval contacts between Jewish and Muslim thinkers, this remarkable examination argues that the Islamic impact reverberates within Judaic traditions to this day. More than just a historical work, this exploration provides a fresh perspective on the social, religious, and political issues that have complicated Jewish-Muslim relations since the founding of Israel.

About the Author :
Thomas Block is a writer, artist, and theoretician. He has contributed to the International Journal of the Arts in Society and the Mid-Atlantic Almanack. His artwork is in collections at the Irish Center for Human Rights and the Contemporary Art Museum of Montecatini in Italy.

Review :
"Block's historical review of the encounters of Jewish mystics with Sufi masters is as inspiring as it is fascinating, as hopeful as it is insightful. This meeting of Jewish and Muslim mystics offers a foundation for the collaboration of Jewish and Muslim activists." --Paul F. Knitter, theology professor, World Religions and Culture Union Theological Seminary "This study transcends the political differences over Palestine/Israel. Even the title expresses the idea of spiritual links transcending political conflict, decommissioning the religious content to the conflict." --S. Abdallah Schleifer, distinguished professor, The American University in Cairo "Tom writes for educated lay people who share his hunger for healing Jewish-Muslim relations and a strong interest in spirituality. But his book might also spur some academic researchers to look more deeply into the subject." --Joseph Montville, director, Abrahamic Family Reunion project
