| 1. |  | The Complete Idiot's Guide to Kabbalah (Complete Idiot's Guide to) from Alpha Price: $11.53 Customer Review:  The Idiot's Guide to Kabbalah by Dr. Michael Laitman was a very good beginner's guide to Kabbalah. I have been interested in this subject but I never found a book that I could really understand. This one is laid out and presented in a way that I understood what the author was saying. The writing was... |

| 2. |  | Biblical Literacy: The Most Important People, Events, and Ideas of the Hebrew Bible from William Morrow Price: $19.77 Customer Review: I've seen the Hebrew Bible explained by true believers of several kinds, or critics of various sorts. But never have I seen it examined with such open curiosity. With Rabbi Telushkin as a guide, I was struck as never before by the Bible's painful honesty. It faithfully records the pain of inhumanity... |

| 3. |  | 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? |

| 4. |  | Torah Yoga: Experiencing Jewish Wisdom Through Classic Postures (Arthur Kurzweil Books) from Jossey-Bass Price: $13.57 Customer Review:  Torah Yoga tries to weave together overly simplified, and uselessly simplistic, ideas from Jewish mysticism with hatha yoga practice and philosophy. The result reads like those affirmations Al Franken used to do on SNL. Yes, you may be a spark of God's infinite light, and that may lead to a warm and... |

The work provides the most comprehensive discussion of Jewish law in English that I have ever seen. This work was recommended by a law school professor many years ago. I never cease going back to it. The discussions regarding each of the major legal... |

| 10. |  | Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology from Urim Publications Price: $14.78 Customer Review: Mikvah and the Laws of Family Purity are from the most difficult to understand and digest. No one does it better than Rivkah Slonim. If you have considered Mikvah, never really understand it or simply curious this is your book. A valuable compendium and resource. This book would be a great gift for... |

| 11. |  | The Law and the New Testament (Companions to the New Testament) from Herder & Herder Price: $19.95 Customer Review: Thielman delivers again! Moving away from simply a discussion of Paul's view of the Mosaic law (which has tended to dominate recent discussions), Thielman turns to look at what the rest of the NT has to say on this issue. He again showcases his impressive ability to explain difficult concepts and... |

| 13. |  | We Jews: Who Are We and What Should We Do from Jossey-Bass Price: $24.95 Customer Review: Steinstalz is the greatest living Talmud scholar, an Israeli born into a secular family, and a mystic and Kabbalist. The two things that stick with me most from this book - or perhaps I'll expand that to a few things: -he makes the argument that from the supposed 5 million Jews of the... |

| 15. | [no image] | A Treasury of Sephardic Laws and Customs: The Ritual Practices of Syrian, Moroccan, Judeo-Spanish and Spanish and Portuguese Jews of North America from Yeshiva University Press Customer Review: This is not the kind of book you just sit down and read cover to cover. It's more of a reference guide to sephardic customs and minhagim. As such, it's an invaluable tool for anyone with any interest in the subject. It's well organized, clearly written, and exhaustively researched. If you're looking... |

| 16. |  | Women and Jewish Law: The Essential Texts, Their History, and Their Relevance for Today from Schocken Price: $10.88 Customer Review: I much enjoyed this book. It is well-researched and argues its case equally well. The author points out how so many of the halakhic decisions were originally made to protect women from aggressive males within the patriarchal system of those times. It ends, however, with the cry for those rulings to... |

| 20. |  | Coming Home: A Woman's Story Of Conversion To Judaism from Basic Books Customer Review: I've been thinking about converting for two years. I read Kukoff's book and Embracing the Convenant for the same reasons but was looking for a single person's journey in depth rather than a bunch of quotes or a series of stories by others. Shires doesn't speak just for herself, though, but for many... |

| 23. |  | The Jewish Moral Virtues from Jewish Publication Society of America Customer Review: A nice general guide to Jewish values, though sometimes a little too general to hold my interest (which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). I recommend reading this along with (and preferably before) Telushkin's Book of Jewish Values- this book gives you the forest of general concepts, Telushkin... |
