| 4. |  | A Guide to Jewish Prayer from Schocken Price: $10.85 Customer Review: There are a number of good books on the subject of Jewish Prayer. Seth Kadish's ' Kavvana' perhaps does most to explain the actual problems a Jew faces in praying in the proper way.

| 5. |  | Simple Words: Thinking About What Really Matters in Life from Simon & Schuster Price: $12.47 Customer Review:  I had expected more from this book. Several of the words seem to be redefined in order to fit the author's preconceived notions. An easy read and some good things to think about. Overall, not too deep, though |

| 9. |  | We Jews: Who Are We and What Should We Do from Jossey-Bass Price: $19.96 Customer Review: Steinstalz is the greatest living Talmud scholar, an Israeli born into a secular family, and a mystic and Kabbalist.
