HOST, ITS SUPERNATURAL!

As a Jewish believer and leader in the Messianic Jewish movement for over thirty years, my dear friend Rabbi Kluge shares a wealth of knowledge from his upbringing, training, and experience. This is a unique book that will provide rich insight on the prayer shawl that will deepen your prayer life and intimacy with God.

Dr. Kluges book teaches us about one of the holiest objects of Judaism, the tallit (prayer shawl). We learn its traditional meaning and then about its pathway to Gods presence, healing, love, forgiveness, and other hidden treasures. I have experienced firsthand the work of Dr. Kluge's important ministry and highly recommend the reading of this excellent book.

Messianic Rabbi Charles Kluge offers a rich, scriptural meditation on the beauty and power of the tallit, the traditional Jewish prayer shawl. Your heart will be stirred for deeper intimacy with God as you read these inspiring words.

DR. MICHAEL L. BROWN

AUTHOR, THE REAL KOSHER JESUS

The tallit, so precious in the life and ministry of the Messianic Jewish community, is largely mystery to the non-Jewish body of Messiah. This book removes the mystery and provides compelling insight and understanding of the power, presence, and intimate blessing that can be discovered in the tallit. This book is a must-read for all, especially we Gentiles, because we have equal opportunity to receive Yeshuas blessings through the tallit.

DR. RALEIGH WASHINGTON

PRESIDENT AND CEO, PROMISE KEEPERS

Dr. Kluge has taken on a great challenge by writing such an in-depth book about the tallit and its connection with the Jewish roots of our faith, both for Jews and Gentiles. He has explained with a deep conviction and passion about the wonders of the tallit, and he has approached this subject sensibly and with great sensitivity. We understand that the tallit is a revered and respected material object, however, we are led back to the knowledge of our relationship that all things are wrapped around by the love of Yeshua the Messiah. This is the most informative and balanced book I have read about the tallit.

BARRY SEGAL

PRESIDENT, VISION FOR ISRAEL

Dr. Kluges new book, The Tallit, helps a person who is not familiar with Jewish tradition appreciate this holy object that symbolizes the relationship of devout men and women to the Word of God and also sheds light on the faithfulness of God to those men and women who revere His Word. Rabbi Kluge helps us discover that there are experiences with God that are hidden from the casual observer. While teaching the traditions connected with the wearing of the tallit, Rabbi Kluge takes us on a journey that can help us experience the supernatural by bringing us into a greater intimacy with God and His Word.

Over the years people have asked me, What is that thing youre wearing? They were referring to my tallit. From now on I can answer their questions by referring them to The Tallit: Experiencing the Mystery of the Prayer Shawl and Other Hidden Treasures by Rabbi Charlie Kluge. This unique work binds Scripture, tradition, history, and anecdote together to help express the essence of the tallit as beautifully as the tying of the tzitzit together helps express the essence of Hashem.

RABBI ERIC TOKAJER

AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER, THE MESSIANIC TIMES

This book explains the why, where, when, and how of the tallit both from the Bible and from Jewish tradition. It also contains a carefully woven story of a man and the challenges and victories of his life of faith. First a politically motivated optometrist, he eventually became the president of the Messianic Jewish Alliance. All along the way he was a peacemaker and a bridge builder. Enjoy!
