This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 72 poems and 72 short essays. Includes reflections and midrashim on the Hebrew Bible and the High Holy Days. This unique offering pairs brief essays and poems that probe and tweak our notions about, well, what happened to god and religion. Silverman, a poet, musician, and explorer of dreams and myths, takes us on a ride that is both playful and profound. The poems and essays are universal in nature, even as he dives deeply into Jewish themes from his own life experience. As Silverman puts it: "Does all consciousness reside inside the scope of the human brain, or does it fly on the wings of birds? To me it's a no brainer."
