| 1. |  | Jewish Magic and Superstition: A Study in Folk Religion from University of Pennsylvania Press Price: $20.25 Customer Review:  I consulted this book almost constantly while writing my historical novels, Rashi's Daughters, Book 1: Joheved and Rashi's Daughters, Book II: Miriam. For a long time it was out of print and I'm so glad to see it's available in a new printing. Don't look for Kabbalah in this book though; it's almost... |

| 2. |  | Kabbalah: New Perspectives from Yale University Press Price: $26.10 Customer Review:  This is an absolute classic that should be read by every student of Kabbalah. However, it should be read after studying Scholem's Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism. Idel's book is predicated on Scholem's. The main benefit in Idel's work is that he studies the experiential dimension of Kabbalah too.... |

| 5. | [no image] | The Mystical Experience in Abraham Abulafia (Suny Series in Judaica : Hermeneutics Mysticism and Religion) from State University of New York Press Price: $29.95 Customer Review:  One of the few studies of Abulafia and his meditational alphabet mysticism. Aulafia's system is often mentioned but rarely elucidated.Like most scholarly works Idel plumbs the writing style, time period, influences and important unanswered questions that arise from any critical study including such... |

| 7. |  | Kabbalah and Eros from Yale University Press Price: $37.69 Customer Review: This book completely changed the way I understand Kabbalah. Idel's argument is that Eros is perhaps the major hermeneutic key that we need to understand the worldview of many Kabbalists. Once we have the groundwork that he lays, it becomes possible to see the erotic dimensions of one kabbalistic... |

| 9. |  | Hasidism (Suny Series in Judaica : Hermeneutics, Mysticism, and Religion) from SUNY Press Price: $32.95 Customer Review: Hasidism or Chasidism was a 17th-20th century Eastern European Jewish movement emphasizing feeling over intellect (compared to normative, legalistic Judaism). There were, however, earlier movements called Hasidic in Western Europe (i.e. Germany) sometimes referred to as Ashkenazi Hasidism. The... |

| 10. |  | Mystical Union in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: An Ecumenical Dialogue from Continuum International Publishing Group Customer Review: It is a bit unseemly to speak of a bargain when it comes to a book on mysticism but this one really is. The original price was [amount]; I can only assume there was an over-printing. The five writers included in this book are some of the most insightful modern thinkers on the subject. Michael Sells... |

| 12. |  | Messianic Mystics from Yale University Press Price: $23.40 Customer Review:  This text is for academics not Kabbalists or general readers. It highlights disputes with Scholem (& some agreements) & Werblowsky-many, from my perspective, are pilpul-like nit-picking. Unlike his prior texts (esp. the Abulafia trilogy--also difficult reading & academic), it lacks a... |

| 13. | [no image] | Golem: Jewish Magical and Mystical Traditions on the Artificial Anthropoid (SUNY Series in Judaica: Hermeneutics, Mysticism & Religion) from State Univ of New York Pr Customer Review: Moshe Idel isn't a light read, to say the least, but if you are interested in the golem or in Jewish mysticism in general, it is possible for a dedicated reader without much background in the area to get through the book. If you're a scholar, you should have even better luck. Idel's thesis,... |

| 15. |  | Enchanting Powers: Music in the Worlds Religions (Religions of the World) from Harvard Center for the Study of World Religions Customer Review: This is a collection of papers that are related in some way to the topics of religion and music. I approached this book with several questions: What is the role of music in the religions of the world? What is the attitude of world religions towards music? However, very few essays in this book... |

| 17. |  | Absorbing Perfections: Kabbalah and Interpretation from Yale University Press Price: $51.27 Customer Review: Harold Bloom in his illumating preface to this work calls it Idel's most monumental and important to date. Bloom sees Idel the way he sees great literary creators as in a kind of 'agon' with their forebearers. All English Romantic poetry tries to contend with and overcome Milton. So all scholars of... |

The book takes each of the ten and explicitly explains the name that it is attached to, and the cognomens that are used in reference to that sphere in the Tanakh. The book is... |
