About the Book

First printed in 1921, Visions of a Compassionate World is a practical guide for spiritual development that addresses the whole person: mind, body, and soul. In an age of self-discovery and the search for self-awareness, this dynamic work brings clarity through meditation, guided imagery, psychology, and kabbalah. With its uplifting message of universal peace, this book reveals a spiritual path away from ego traps and self-centered consciousness and toward the pursuit of a more compassionate life.

About the Author :
Menachem Ekstein was the son of Mordechai Ekstein, a prominent Hassidic communal leader in Reisha, Poland in the early 20th century. He and his family were victims of the Holocaust. Yehoshua Starrett is the author of several books on topics of Jewish interest, including The Breslov Haggadah, Esther: A Breslov Commentary on the Megillah, The Inner Temple, and To Heal the Soul. David Zeller was the executive director of the Yakar Center for Tradition and Creativity and the Shevet Center for Jewish Meditation, both in Jerusalem. His work focused on combining transpersonal psychology with Jewish spirituality and mediation. He worked extensively with a range of Jewish communities, as well as with yoga, Sufi, Buddhist, and Christian centers, and with psychological programs in North America, Europe, and Israel.

Review :
" Visions of a Compassionate World tells us how to reach the Torah's ultimate goal - to uplift the soul from its feeling of separateness and bond with the Creator. This is not a book about spirituality; it is a guide to spiritual practice. [...]Perhaps Divine Providence has brought about its translation now, because now we are ready to hear it." --Batya Yaniger, Voices "There are no short-cuts in this book because there are none in trying to attain this higher level of consciousness. Instead, we are given a path which is a life-long process. There are helpful insights, advice, suggestions and encouragement that will aid us 'grow beyond the path's inherent pitfalls, and even grow as a result of them.'" --Dr. Alex Grobman, Lifestyles Magazine "When you read this amazing book, you would be forgiven until you reached its latter half, for believing it had been written by some New Age guru rather than by a Chassidic rebbe in 1921. [...] The answer is a series of meditations on Planet Earth and the various emotional experiences which affect all mankind." --Doreen Wachmann, Jewish Telegraph "[...]Ekstein published his only book in Hebrew, in Vienna, in 1921. Parts of it were translated into Yiddish during the 1930's, but Starrett, who has written widely in the hassidic tradition, is the first to put it into English. The work combines psychology, kabbalah, therapy, and meditation to instruct readers on gaining self-awareness through consideration of others." --Jane Erskine, Book News "Long before the popular phase of New Age enthusiasm for meditation and guided imagery, the author captures some of the same patterns as are promoted in the popular bookstores today. [...] Anyone can gain from this meditative and spiritual book." --Dov Peretz Elkins, Jewish Media Review "Merging psychology, kabbala and meditation, this book offers 'a practical guide' for achieving self-awareness through 'enhanced consciousness and greater consideration of others.' [...] It is easy to read and Rabbi David Zeller's insightful foreword is a helpful focus on the importance of doing one's soul work." --Moshe Dann, Jerusalem Post " Visions of a Compassionate World is a refreshing book that will be of particular interest to those seeking alternative methods of spiritual growth within a Jewish context." --Rabbi Stanley Peerless, Torah Community Connections "This presentation of a disciplined path for spiritual practice in the chassidic tradition is remarkable both for its straightforward, simple instructions which will make it accessible and useful to many people as well as for its contemporary relevance, especially since it was written 80 years ago." --Sylvia Boorstein, author, Happiness Is an Inside Job "Anyone can gain from this meditative and spiritual book." -- Jewish Media Review "[The book] is easy to read and Rabbi David Zeller's insightful foreword is a helpful focus on the importance of doing one's soul work." -- Jerusalem Post
