More often than not, very deep concepts and teachings can only be expressed through examples and analogies that reflect them. In the English language for the very first time, this book, written almost eight hundred years ago by one of the greatest sages in history, the holy Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla, may be compared to a golden keychain holding the keys to the King's treasure houses, each one containing deep insights into the human experience and psyche. A delightful and easy read full of timeless teachings that give wisdom, understanding and knowledge, it is bound to have a profound and lasting impact on anyone who reads it.
