From Illness to Exodus

“Had Jonathan Weinkle shared the depth of his Jewish insights about the Passover Haggadah we might say dayenu (it would have been enough). Had he applied those insights to the healing work of the medical profession, we might also have said dayenu. Had he compassionately reminded us that we all are on journeys from illness to recovery, we might also have said dayenu. That he instead followed the wisdom of the book of Proverbs that a braided threefold chord (in this instance of healing, knowledge, and applied medical ethics) is of greatest value accounts for why we are the beneficiaries of this remarkable book From Illness to Exodus. The ‘dance’ of these three sources moving in and about one another is dazzling.”
