What do all these men have in common? Each participated in an ongoing dialogue concerning the validity of dreams. This book offers the reader rare sources such as Rabbi Hayyim Bellaïche’s essay Petiha le-Mar’ot ha-Nevu’ah (Introduction to Prophetic Visions). It also makes available for the first time in English translation Rav Kook’s commentary to Perek ha-Ro’eh (The Chapter of the Seer). Finally, familiar Bible stories are given a fresh appraisal. All in all, a valuable contribution to the perennial wisdom of dream analysis .“… a true appreciation of a topic misunderstood. The author’s brilliance, true to the Torah perspective, is transparently clear throughout this work.”—Rabbi Leib Tropper, Rosh Yeshiva, Kol Yaakov Torah Center, Monsey“ Bringing Down Dreams is a jewel and a joy to all those who toil in grappling with the complexity of man’s inner life. Bezalel Naor has established himself not only as a poter halomot (interpreter of dreams) but as a topher halomot (sewer of dreams), weaving an exquisite tapestry of rabbinic interpretations, views and reflections on man’s inner life with its rich symbols and meanings.”—Yitzchak Schechter, PsyD, Clinical Psychologist Director, Center for Applied Psychology@Bikur Cholim—Partners in Health
