Overview

Much of life is a struggle. Jacob serves as the archetype of every individual who confronts inner and outer challenges throughout the journey of life. From him, we can learn how to enter into dialogue with various aspects of ourselves, and through this process, strive to achieve healing. This unique work draws on the training, experience and spiritual development of a prominent rabbi and clinical psychologist. He explores the personality traits, family entanglements and events that helped shape the life and character of the Biblical Patriarch. Dr. Meier's work attracts people of all faiths and backgrounds. Everyone who struggles with life, relationships and intimacy will find meaning, comfort and direction in this encounter with their soulmate, Jacob.

Editorials

Jacob Stein

...[W]hen I found Jacob, a remarkable book by Rabbi Levi Meier that blends the biblical story of my patriarchal namesake with a psychoanalysis of the father of the Ten Tribes, it was a "must read."

Jonathan Kellerman

Jacob is a profound, provocative, and immensely joyous and enjoyable work.

The Rt Hon the Lord Jakobovits

Rabbi Levi Meier's book, Jacob, is original...intriguing, and a valuable contribution to a field in which he is now an acknowledged expert.

Dr. Manfred Altman

This is an enriching spiritual experience for a wide readership, Jewish and non-Jewish, for people with or without faith.
