Friedrich Weinreb (1910 Lviv - 1988 Zurich) was an innovator in the storytelling of the Bible and a pioneer in the approach to Kabbalah. For him, Judaism and Christianity are in a creative connection. The Old and New Testaments form a unity. His work also opens pathways to understanding spiritual experiences. There is also a closeness of his work to other mystical traditions. Weinreb is considered a remarkable exception in 20th-century Judaism. With his groundbreaking book "Creation in the Word: The Structure of the Bible in Jewish Tradition," he opened the treasury of Jewish knowledge. The "holy oral teaching," which had been preserved for millennia in secluded scholarly circles, was revealed by Friedrich Weinreb as a source of inspiration for the present. As a writer and lecturer, he left behind an extensive body of work in which surprising connections between the biblical worldview and human experience and today's life can be discovered.
