Johnnykin thanked Peter very warmly, and went his way. The country became wilder and more desolate, the trees grew few and far between, and sometimes a strange feeling came over him, as if he were getting over the ground by miles in minutes, though he walked slowly, just as a man looking lazily at a vast country from a high mountain may take in a league at a glance, though he look ever so slowly. Then he began to read again, and saw these words: --"And when it befel that the Boy Johnnikin had gone further on into this Land of the Gobblins, A GREAT SNAIL. 10 9 which some Men call the Land of Doubt, and was walking along the Way" Here Johnny kin heard a loud cry beneath his foot, "Don't tread on me!" He looked, and saw it was a Great Snail. "But the Book says nothing about your being here!" said Johnnykin, impatiently. "Yes it does. Here's a picture of it. Don't you see--a Boy treading on a Snail? Read on "He trod on the Snail without knowing it, for he was so busy reading that he did not see her. Then He went on through a lonely, dreary Land, till he came to a little Streame which ran by, and in this Streame He saw naught save Rushes THE BUSH TAIRIES. Ill waving in the Wind, or as it seemed, dancing in the Water." "It seems to me," said Johnnykin, as he looked at the Rushes more carefully, and saw the green leaves changing to pretty little faces, and white arms and hands, "that you look more like Water-Maids sporting in the brook than plants."

Book excerpt: An anthology of essays written by a wide cross-section of rabbis, Lights in the Forest presents a range of Jewish responses to both theological and philosophical questions pertaining to God, humanity, and the Jewish people. Thoughtful and engaging, these responses are meant to strengthen the reader's sense of Jewish identity through expanding his or her knowledge and understanding of Jewish life, practice, and tradition. Perfect for self-study, group study, adult learning, and conversion, the collection strives to encourage further study and ongoing discussion through presenting Judaism's intellectual and spiritual tools as means for leading a life full of purpose and commitment “Rabbi Israel of Rhyszin tells a story of two people entering a forest. One has a lantern while one does not. The two meet, and the one carrying the lantern is able to illuminate their shared path. When the two part, the one without a lantern is left in the dark once more. From this, we learn that we all must carry our own light. My hope is that this book will provide light along the path and, in so doing, will provide a wider horizon of Jewish tradition and ideals to light the way.” - Rabbi Paul Citrin, Editor Published by CCAR Press, a division of the Central Conference of American Rabbis
