It’s quite common to find Behrman House titles
on educators’ lists, but imagine our delight when
we saw Rabbi David Wolpe’s new book, Floating
Takes Faith: Ancient Wisdom for a Modern World,
at number 15 on the Los Angeles Times bestseller
list in November. Excitement at Rabbi Wolpe’s
congregation, Sinai Temple in Los Angeles,
helped create a buzz, and sales of the book, in
bookstores and via internet vendors such as Amazon,
took off.
The book presents the best of Rabbi Wolpe’s
essays appearing in the New York Jewish Week,
drawing its material from a variety of religious and historical sources; for example,
finding the importance of Israel
in a Robert Frost poem, the nature
of God in the words of Beowulf,
and parenting lessons in the
fatherly techniques of King
David.
