Tsimtsum (contraction) and hitpashtut (expansion). These two kabbalistic terms aptly describe the thought of Bezalel Naor. Though diametrically opposed, they come together in this unique moment. The author is at once a "hedgehog" and a "fox," in the usage of Isaiah Berlin. Naor brings to the table both the intense focus, the razor-sharp analysis of Rav Soloveitchik of Boston, and the synthetic, unitive perception of reality, of Rav Kook (whose bon mot was "kelaliyut," "universality").This dialectic thought, constantly "zooming" in and out, forever shifting gears from "micro" to "macro," is unleashed on the entire process of Judaism: Torah, Talmud, the challenge of Christianity and Islam, Maimonides, Kabbalah, Hasidism, Messianism, and the specialty of the house-Rav Kook.The final section of Book Reviews includes a wide array: Kozhnitser Maggid, Kafka, Paul Celan, Leonard Cohen, Yehudah Don Yahya, Meshulam Rath, and Rabbi Nahman of Breslov.The reader is invited to embark on this enchanted intellectual and spiritual journey, as the author attempts "navigating worlds." (One of the chapters of the book is entitled "Rav Kook's Space Odyssey.")

Knowledge should make the world seem smaller, but for this royal runaway, it will be the exact opposite. Rubi is the youngest child of a famed rebellion leader, and also a Collector - a rare human sorcerer. Unbound by the laws of natural magic, it is said that a Collector can learn to do anything imaginable. Onboard her ship and far from human cities, she is free of the politics and hatred between humanity and magical beings. Things are better this way. She has the time to chase her own needs and leave a place whenever she pleases. Then one day, a pair of mysterious drifters with blue striped cheeks board her ship of misfits, and fate engulfs her and her friends into unimaginable danger. Thrust into a world of elemental demons and their regenerating counterparts, the Tsuki, Rubi learns of the three mythical Perfect Immortals and the War of the Gods that preceded them. Now dragged into the fray, Rubi must harness her power and strive to protect the youngest of the immortals, a seven year old girl with the limitless potential to become a savior or a monster.
