A rabbi shares his wisdom on the most important journey of all. Drawing from the Talmud, the ancient Greeks, Native American tribes, and the customs and teachings of many other religions, The Path of the Soul provides useful contemplations on the reality and inevitability of death. This inspirational book is not about grieving, consoling, healing, or even about dying--it is a proactive examination of how mortality affects our lives and how to approach death in a way that makes life meaningful and redemptive.
Among Rabbi Kamin's chapter themes are: Why Is There Death?, a guide to the healthy acceptance of life's cycles; Conversations with the Dead, how and why the departed continue teaching us; On Life After Life, serious perspectives on immortality; and On Death as a Teacher, gaining humility, tolerance, and harmony from the peaceful embracing of mortality.
This beautifully written book is filled with real-life stories of Kamin's friends, family, and congregants as well as the timeless wisdom of the scriptures. The Path of the Soul is a poignant and moving work that helps readers to face mortality and provides a new perspective on life.
Senior rabbi at Temple Tifereth Israel in Cleveland, Kamin offers a compassionate and well-reasoned tour through modern Jewish interpretations of death. There is not so much explanation as the promise of life itself and "the universe and its elusive yet comforting concept of a God," as well as the duty to live our lives on earth in a way that uplifts spiritual values and does honor to the memory of the departed. Intelligent and consoling, Kamin's work should be well received by most readers. Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.

Path of the Soul: Making Peace with Mortality
"Deborah Hertz writes in Jewish High Society in Old Regime Berlin that "discrete private loans to those who could afford the high interest rates was one way that the Jewish bankers increased the wealth they acquired in the Seven Year's War."[4] Indebted nobles began frequenting the homes of their Jewish creditors, either to make payments or plead for extensions. It was in these circumstances that the first fraternization began between the Prussian nobility and the daughters of the Jewish elite. There is even some suggestion that nobles were heavily pressured, via their debts, to take Jewish wives for easier terms. For example, Hannah Arendt argued that intermarriages between the Prussian nobility and Jewish women were simply "a continuation of the creditor-debtor exchanges of the earlier years."[5] Eventually this mode of contact evolved into the "salon" culture, in which soirées were staged and hosted by Jewish financial magnates with the specific purpose of encouraging the mixing of the Prussia nobility and selected Jewesses."
~ Andrew Joyce, "Reflections on Jewish Intermarriage into Native Elites" in The Occidental Observer
