"Rabbi Allen explores in her stimulating debut the 'immense potential of creativity' to cast 'ancient Jewish wisdom' in a new light . . . Through a clever mix of artistic exercises and rabbinic wisdom, Allen encourages readers to 'peel back layers of what we think we know' to construct new understandings of their faith and themselves. It's a unique and invigorating lens on Judaism." —Publishers Weekly

"For most of human history, art-making was viewed as a way of honoring and dialoguing with the divine. But in a secular age, we often forget that our creative vision is not an individual possession; it is a verb that ties us into divine communion with our ecologies. In The Place of All Possibility, Rabbi Adina Allen offers us an answer to this desaturated worldview. She gifts us an updated, animistic view of Jewish mysticism and storytelling that generously 'beckons us to return to our depths, the chaos within.' Here is the creative spring that welcomes microbes and rootlets alongside dazzling angels and perplexing midrash." —Sophie Strand, author of The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine and The Madonna Secret

"The Place of All Possibility underscores the transformative power of creativity as a means of self-discovery, healing, and connection ot a deeper spiritual dimension. Rabbi Adina Allen's personal experiences illustrate the profound impact that creative expression can have on navigating challenges and accessing inner wisdom. She dismantles the common misconception that creativity is exclusive to artists, emphasizing instead that creativity is a fundamental human capacity accessible to everyone. Rabbi Allen emphasizes the communal nature of creativity and the wisdom that comes from creating from the heart. This book encourages readers to embrace creativity as a means of self-discovery, personal growth, and contributing to the collective construction of a more meaningful and connected world." —Susan Magsamen, author of Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us
