| 5. |  | Everyday Holiness: The Jewish Spiritual Path of Mussar from Trumpeter Price: $16.47 Customer Review: I had never heard of Mussar until recently. I am a Jew and have been practicing Buddhism for the last 25 years. Mussar ties Jewish thought, Talmudic and Biblical in origin, with concepts like generosity, loving-kindness and other principles that are common to Buddhism. This book is outlined... |

| 6. |  | Man Is Not Alone : A Philosophy of Religion from Farrar, Straus and Giroux Price: $10.20 Customer Review: I first read bits of Man Is Not Alone in the 70s, but only today read through a just purchased copy of this lyrical reflection on religion and doubt, belief and faith, man and God, the Ineffable and Jewish tradition. Why I didn't take in more of Heschel's obvious wisdom on my first encounter with... |

| 7. |  | Genesis and the Big Bang: The Discovery Of Harmony Between Modern Science And The Bible from Bantam Price: $10.88 Customer Review: This book presents a compelling argument that the events of the billions of years that cosmologists say followed the Big Band and those of the first six days described in Genesis are, in fact, one and the same----identical realities described in vastly different terms. Using language easily... |

| 8. |  | Jewish Wisdom: Ethical, Spiritual, and Historical Lessons from the Great Works and Thinkers from William Morrow Price: $17.16 Customer Review: This book is very interesting and I would highly reccomend it to anybody who wants to understand Judaism, along with "The Book of Jewish Belief" by Louis Jacobs. |

| 9. |  | The Jew in the Lotus: A Poet's Rediscovery of Jewish Identity in Buddhist India (Plus) from HarperOne Price: $10.17 Customer Review:  Rodger Kamenetz's best-selling book is ostensibly about the 1990 visit of a delegation of Jewish rabbis and other notables to Dharamsala, India, the Dalai Lama's home in exile. The goal was to share the secrets of Jewish survival over the two millenium of diaspora. In some ways though, the book is... |

| 10. |  | To Heal a Fractured World: The Ethics of Responsibility from Schocken Price: $11.20 Customer Review: I thoroughly enjoyed R. Sachs's work.

| 11. |  | The Thirteen Petalled Rose: A Discourse On The Essence Of Jewish Existence And Belief from Basic Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz was and still a source of inspiration to me, to my family and to my friends. Do not look upon him as simply a Jewish scholar, because he is much much more than that. He is a man for all seasons; a man of goodness, intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom. A philosopher, a... |

| 12. |  | Jesus the Jewish Theologian from Hendrickson Publishers Price: $13.57 Customer Review: There was a lot of good information, but for what ever reason Brad defends the Pharasee's beyond scriptural reasoning. We know not all Pharasee's were that bad. But since all of Mathew 23 is about Yeshua referring to Hypocrites and "Blind guides", either the Bible was written incorrectly, or Brad... |

| 14. |  | The Lonely Man of Faith from Three Leaves Price: $9.95 Customer Review: One cannot help feeling that in presenting the picture of the lonely man of faith, the Rav is presenting a picture of himself. The contrast is by now famous between the two Adams, the Adam of conquering the earth, the technological modern man, and the second Adam, the Adam of inwardness, the lonely... |

| 15. |  | The Book of Jewish Values: A Day-by-Day Guide to Ethical Living from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I found this book very helpful for examining and deepening my own values. I would classify it as "pop" religion, but of the highest level. A very easy read; persons from any faith can benefit from this book. The early Christians were Jews. So as a Catholic I treasure the knowledge and wisdom that... |

| 16. |  | What is a Jew? from Touchstone Price: $10.20 Customer Review: This is a neat little book. It explains not only the major rituals and holidays in Judaism, but also WHY these holidays and rituals occur. It also explains what has happened to these rituals and holidays through the centuries. For instance, there is a Biblical prohibition... |

| 17. |  | When Bad Things Happen to Good People: Twentieth Anniversary Edition, with a New Preface by the Author from Schocken Price: $14.28 Customer Review: Even though I am Methodist, I basically agree with Rabbi Kushner's philosophy. He takes a very ecumenical view. The book gives you a lot to think about, and is well written; although it may help if one has at least a little bit of Biblical literacy. Kushner references Genesis and the story of King... |

| 19. | [no image] | Aleph Isn't Tough: An Introduction to Hebrew for Adults, Book 1 from Urj Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: If like me you are wanting to teach yourself Hebrew this book is an excellent resource for doing so. As one other reviewer rightly commented it breaks the Hebrew alphabet down into smaller portions and thus makes it easier to memorize. Anoither plus is that writing of the letters is taught along... |

| 20. |  | A Maimonides Reader (Library of Jewish Studies) from Behrman House, Inc. Price: $20.25 Customer Review: This anthology is a very good introduction to the thought of the Rambam. It contains large sections from the 'Mishneh Torah' and 'The Guide to the Perplexed'. It also contains explanatory notes which better help understand the texts. For Rambam the highest aim of the religious life is... |

| 21. |  | Healer of Shattered Hearts from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: This is one of three books I would like to have if I were stranded on a desert island. This book is not only for those of the Jewish faith. Rabbi Wolpe has awaked my own faith and helped me to bond in a new way to God. |

| 22. |  | The 72 Names of God Meditation Book: Technology for the Soul from Kabbalah Publishing Price: $9.56 Customer Review: If you have been reading into Kabbalah and enjoy meditating this is an excellent way to focus your meditation.

| 23. |  | Salvation Is from the Jews: The Role of Judaism in Salvation History from Ignatius Press Price: $12.21 Customer Review: I chanced upon this book while looking for a forthcoming publication with the same title, this one by Aaron Milavec. Being a "roamin' catholic" and a student of the history of ideas for more than half a century, I ponder what differance it might have made if early Christianity had recognized... |

| 24. |  | Abraham Isaac Kook: The Lights of Penitence, The Moral Principles, Lights of Holiness, Essays, Letters, and Poems (Classics of Western Spirituality) from Paulist Press Price: $16.47 Customer Review: Abraham Isaac Kook has had the Theophany. It is evident in his writing. It informs it. He has been reduced to nothing and raised up. His error and sin have been made whole, they have become the garments by which he understood his nakedness. He has seen the same world made new. Here, even the... |

| 25. |  | A Code of Jewish Ethics: Volume 1: You Shall Be Holy from Harmony/Bell Tower Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I wish this were called a Code of Biblical Ethics; I think more people would read it! This tells practically how to love G-d and your neighbor...and who shouldn't do that? |

| 26. |  | The Early History of God: Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel (Biblical Resource Series) from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Price: $17.16 Customer Review: This is a fantastic synthesis of 20th Century scholarship on the religion of Israel in the period of the Judges and early monarchy.

| 27. |  | Conversion to Judaism: A Guidebook from Jason Aronson Price: $31.80 Customer Review: I have written and deleted about five review for this book already, since this is such a sensitive issue for me, I will keep it short, I hope you forgive me. - The book does not take for granted that your main reason for learning about conversion is a romantic interest in a jewish person. |

| 29. |  | The Death and Resurrection of the Beloved Son: The Transformation of Child Sacrifice in Judaism and Christianity from Yale University Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: I find that the author helps to make the idea of redemption understandable from the biblical persepctive. Levenson is a master at argument that is both concise and convincing. The reasoning does challenge the reader to stay very close to the details, otherwise you may get lost. If you ar e... |
