Published: March 2, 2017, 11:52 p.m.

Ani Tuzman is a novelist, an award-winning poet, and a writing mentor. She is the author of The Tremble of Love: A Novel of the Baal Shem Tov, her newly-released literary, historical novel. The Eastern European mystic rabbi known as the Baal Shem Tov founded the Hasidic tradition within Judaism. A Kabbalist, he taught that divine sparks are hidden everywhere and it is one’s sacred duty to find and free the energy in these sparks whose essence is love. It is a delicious book that I could not put down.
