A good introduction to something as intensely complicated as anything. Some will find it overly simplified, some might find it patronizing, but the majoriity of those who are sufficiently blessed to have found the work will be very much better from having read it. ( )

Superstition is not my cup of Jewish tea. ( )

This is a wonderful introduction to the Kabbalah in the Judea mystical tradition. The author had studied and travelled other religions prior to returning to the religion of his youth. He has the attitude of the Dalia Lama, that there are many paths to God, and for him, the practices he describe, combined with explanations of Judaism are informative and insightful. An excellent read. ( )
