The Zimzum of Love: A New Way of Understanding Marriage by Rob Bell, Kristen Bell
5.0
This was FABULOUS!
Many of my friends from my same generation aren't seeing the point of marriage anymore, and they make very good points on a lot of levels. However, Rob and Kristen also bring up some pretty important points that are hard to deny; that's saying something in the secular Israeli society I live in, where many are saying no to marriage as a statement.
There are some commenting here who seem to think the idea of ZimZum is silly. I'm Jewish, and I really appreciate that Rob Bell ties his books in with our traditions. Kabbalah is an astounding and ancient tradition that could be hard to grasp for those who haven't studied much about it and aren't very familiar with Judaism. This particular concept comes from Yitzhak Luria's doctrine. If you're a Christian, I recommend diving a little deeper instead of writing off Bell's reference as "silly". It's actually quite beautiful and has helped me look at my relationships in a new light!
But Rob...seriously. In your audiobook, you are NOT pronouncing צמצום correctly D:
