| 9. |  | Boychiks in the Hood: Travels in the Hasidic Underground from HarperOne Price: $11.16 Customer Review:  I enjoyed this book, but there were a few things I found rather interesting/odd in his narrative- One, at one point he referred to the "Old Testament", a term which Jews find offensive. Two, for a guy who doesn't seem to know a lot about Judaism, I was surprised how much he did know when he... |

| 11. |  | Holy Days: The World Of The Hasidic Family from Touchstone Price: $11.90 Customer Review: Lis Harris did for Chabad in the 80's what Sue Fishkoff has done in the early 21st century.

| 12. |  | Through a Speculum That Shines from Princeton University Press Price: $40.27 Customer Review: This book reminds me a lot of the works of Gershom Scholem and, to some degree, of Moshe Idel. It is a scholarly work and, thus, not easy reading. But, the author makes many interesting points and has some translations (perhaps, the best part for the more advanced student). Thus, it's more a book... |
