The first comprehensive, down-to-earth
introduction to explain the primary
message of
Kabbalah—that we are to become like God.
Unlike the faddish books that just discuss
Kabbalah as a magical system, or those that treat it as if it
were separable from Judaism, this inspiring book makes
accessible the mysteries of Kabbalah with thorough scholarship
and depth of spiritual insight. It traces the evolution of
Kabbalah in Judaism and sets forth its most important gift: a
way of revealing the connection that exists between our
"everyday" life and the spiritual oneness of the
universe. Including hands-on "personal Kabbalah"
exercises that help bring the teachings into your life, The Gift of Kabbalah explores:
• Healing from the
Source
• Holiness in the
Ordinary
• Contemplating Your
Place in History
• Building a Positive
Structure for Life
• The Soul's Contract
with God
• ...and much more.
"A clear, comprehensive guide to
Jewish mystical wisdom. If you've ever asked yourself, 'What
can Kabbalah do for me?' this book will provide the
answer."
–Daniel
C. Matt, author of The Essential Kabbalah and God & the Big
Bang: Discovering Harmony Between Science & Spirituality
"A beautifully written introduction
to essential Jewish mysticism for readers of all backgrounds.
It not only provides an excellent combination of clarity and
depth of presentation, it also includes many practical
exercises to help readers integrate the teachings. Highly
recommended."
–Rabbi
David A. Cooper, author of God Is a Verb and Three Gates to Meditation Practice: A personal
Journey into Sufism, Buddhism, and Judaism
