Journey With A Maverick Rabbi


"Recently I spent several weeks of boredom in a hospital bed. The highlight of that time was the day my husband brought me a copy of the book marking the 40th anniversary of Rabbi Ted’s ordination. In the same way as he conducts services, remembrances in the book are told with a smile and a twinkle, while containing deep spiritual meaning. The book both inspired and entertained me, as do all my interactions with Ted."

Deloris Tarzan Ament, Whidbey Island, WA


"What a life and what a book! I was just so grateful to receive this remarkable gift, an amazing and healing contrast to all the static in the world and on the news. The presentation is beyond words. . . . and such a reunion with so many dear friends."

Carol DeMars, West Hills, CA


"I read it from cover to cover and it enriched me in ways that I couldn't have imagined. People I don't even know are now part of my history. Reading it has altered me. There is a stillness in me that wasn't there before."

Carolyne Geller, Seattle, WA  


"As I read the personal stories and looked at the pictures I thought, Even people who never knew Rabbi Ted would enjoy this.  It is a very spiritual book."

June Foster, Houston, TX
