About the Author
Betsalel Philip Edwards was born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1968. A graduate of Boston University, he studied music composition, and then religion under Elie Wiesel and Herbert Mason. Moving to Israel in 1994, he attended Bar-Ilan University, studying music composition and Jewish ethnomusicology. His first taste of the depth and wisdom of Hasidism came from the late great Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, of blessed memory. He feels that he has no merits or awards of any consequence other than the privilege of raising a family and studying the Torah in Jerusalem. The translation of the Mei HaShiloach is his first publication.
