1.The Rebbe: The Life and Afterlife of Menachem Mendel SchneersonThe Rebbe: The Life and Afterlife of Menachem Mendel Schneerson
from Princeton University Press
Price: $18.51

Customer Review:
The book paints a sympathetic picture of the evolution of Mendel Schneerson, an unassuming engineer, into the world leader that we had in the Rebbe. It offends the sensibilities of those who would deify him or see him as infallible, immortal or as Superman. Take those reviews with a grain of salt... more info

Customer Review:
Overall, I really enjoyed this book, after having heard so many good things about it for so long. Ms. Harris had long been curious about the Hassidim because of some old family photos of her own Hassidic ancestors, and she finally got a chance to not only indulge her curiosity but also to learn more... more info

For my anthropology class we were given a choice of books to read; I selected this one (living in Brooklyn I was somewhat familiar with the subject of the book).

Fishkoff has actually lived with several Lubavitcher couples - and families - who so passionately go out into the world as emissaries of their deep faith. This truly inside view is presented impartially and thoroughly in an eminently readable manner.

from NYU Press
Price: $12.99

Customer Review:
This was such a wonderful eye-opening book about the variety of girls in the Lubavitch community in Crown Heights. This book breaks the stereotype that says that girls from very religious families become "drone-like" or don't have their individuality. Within their very prescribed world, because of... more info

Customer Review:
Chassidic tales - the stories of Chassidic rabbis - is the subject of scholarly study. Papers, books, and dissertations are written on the subject. Scholars identify all kinds of issues and debate them with fervor.

I haven't read this book yet. It is in line as the next one up. I can only say the book inside and outside flaps and preface seem to hint of a very stimulating and "don't stop reading" feeling.

This is truly a special book. What comes through these pages are not just words and stories, but a real taste of the light and fire of the Baal Shem Tov.

This long book (400+ pages) by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Netanel Miles-Yepez contains teachings from the first three generations of the Hasidic movement; especially the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch, and Elimelekh of Lizhensk.

This book is built around two sets of comparison. In the first the Baal Shem Tov is compared to Menahem Mendl of Kotzk. The sharp contrasts between the two are highlighted. The Baal Shem came to the world to bring it light and blessing. He raised the spirits of the disheartened and depressed Jewish... more info

I've taught in the Religion Department of a highly-regarded liberal arts college for 23 years, and over that period have fought a constant uphill battle in my own teaching to avoid watering down material for students.

Price: $15.31

Customer Review:
Remarkable teachings. Not for the casual reader, or the timid. It's been made accessible for a patient person with a good teacher. Tanya has highly complex thoughts and sentence structure, but well worth the journey down the Rabbit Hole. And it beats finding a guru in the Himalayas, this is the real... more info

Customer Review:
Lessons in Tanya leads the reader through every paragraph and page, illuminating the mystical, often allusive, Talmudic, Kabbalistic, and Scriptural verses and concepts. It fills many gaps in what the terse Tanya text assumes to be the reader's background knowledge.

from Brandeis
Price: $34.75

Customer Review:
This is an arresting series of tales that demonstrate that hasidic rebbes are not just saints but real human beings with human flaws and lives worthy of examination. Hasidim will probably criticize Assaf as they have criticized Heilman & Friedman's book THE REBBE: THE LIFE AND AFTERLIFE OF... more info

I was originally drawn to Judaism by Martin Buber's wonderful "Tales of the Hasidim" (which has a good section on the Baal Shem Tov). But Buber disavowed his earlier "Legend of the Baal Shem" because it was too flowery and departed too far from the original material; it is also only a mere snippet... more info

I read Boychiks in 1997, and recently picked it up again for a second read. There is no doubt that Eisenberg has created an enjoyable reading experience in this work. It is funny, humorous, self-depreciating, and shows the world of the ultra-orthodox in very human shades. In the 13 years since I... more info

This is one of the most special books in my collection because it was a present from Rabbi Chaim Adelman of the Chabad House at UMass-Amherst in May of 2002.

Customer Review:
Hasidism or Chasidism was a 17th-20th century Eastern European Jewish movement emphasizing feeling over intellect (compared to normative, legalistic Judaism).
