An Added Soul: Poems for a New Old Religion (bilingual English/Hebrew edition), Paperback

"There's much to atone for in how I manage my world:

The absence of a god is no excuse."

Herb Levine writes spiritual Jewish poems from a personal and non-theist perspective. His poems ask us to bring the values that religion offers us-gratitude, awe and responsibility-into our everyday experience without having to be grateful to, responsible to or in awe of a supernatural being. An Added Soul: Poems for a New Old Religion carries forward the themes he began to develop in his first book, Words for Blessing the World (2017).

Taken together, the two books offer those seeking to reconstruct and renew Judaism valuable resources for the Jewish holidays and alternatives for worship.
