| 3. |  | 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... |

| 5. |  | Way of G-d: Derech Hashem (Torah Classics Library) from Feldheim Price: $27.99 Customer Review:  I was disappointed, It is a useful outline of Jewish practices and traditions - primarily written for Jews (as the Chosen People). I was looking for Jewish Mysticism and Kabbalah. I could not find it here. Description of a Heaven run like a giant corporation. God is the CEO & delegates... |

| 6. |  | 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? |

| 7. |  | Maimonides (Jewish Encounters) from Schocken Price: $13.57 Customer Review: Maimonidies' two biggest contributions to civilization were his religious writings, and medical practice. As author Sherwin Nuland himself points out, Maimonidies' truest, lasting legacy are his religious writings. Yet probably because he himself is a doctor, Sherwin Nuland emphasizes the medical... |

| 8. |  | Maimonides: A Guide for Today's Perplexed from Behrman House Publishing Price: $15.95 Customer Review:  The title of the book does not make it quite clear whether the book is strictly about Maimonides' work - this is what it is - or a commented translation. |

| 9. |  | The Everything Kabbalah Book: Explore This Mystical Tradition--From Ancient Rituals to Modern Day Practices (Everything: Philosophy and Spirituality) from Adams Media Corporation Price: $11.21 Customer Review: Mark Elber's "The Everything Kabbalah Book" is a well-written, lucid, easy-to-follow book that shows surprising depth and understanding for a book with such a bland title. "Everything Kabbalah" touches on all the important areas of kabbalistic study, from the origins, to the many rabbinic... |

| 10. |  | Path of the Just (Torah Classics Library) (Torah Classics Library) from Feldheim Customer Review: This is an excellent text for anyone who needs an English translation. The side-by-side layout helps you compare the English with the Hebrew. And of course, this classic is worth studying. |

| 11. |  | A Book of Life: Embracing Judaism As a Spiritual Practice from Jewish Lights Publishing Customer Review: This book was very helpful in preparing me for the life cycle events in the jewish faith.

| 12. |  | Persecution and the Art of Writing from University Of Chicago Press Price: $17.10 Customer Review: This book is absolutely central within the body of Leo Strauss's work. It stands as the culmination of his earliest work and the beginning of his middle phase of work (which most readers and commentators seem to focus on). Leo Strauss started his philosophical career directly confronted with... |

| 13. |  | Difficult Freedom: Essays on Judaism (Johns Hopkins Jewish Studies) from The Johns Hopkins University Press Price: $18.86 Customer Review: Emmanuel Levinas came from an orthodox Lithuanian background but left for France in the 1930' to study with Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger in Germany.

| 14. |  | The Meaning of God in Modern Jewish Religion from Wayne State University Press Price: $25.95 Customer Review: I am enjoying this new approach to the Jewish concept of God. I have been having a hard time relating to the old God. Kaplan makes my relationship meaningful. |

| 15. |  | The Life and Teachings of Hillel from Jason Aronson Price: $47.50 Customer Review: Hillel is one of the greatest men who ever lived, and yet it is incredible how little most people -- even most Jews -- know about him. Commonly associated with a couple of glib quotations (e.g., "if I am not for me, who will be; if I am only for me, what am I?"), Hillel is perhaps the perfect bridge... |

| 16. |  | Abraham Joshua Heschel: Prophetic Witness from Yale University Press Price: $55.00 Customer Review: The power of Heschel's influence on the philosophy of Jewish America cannot possibly be underestimated. Dr. Kaplan's valient attempt to analyze and research the life os this great thinker is to be commended. His descriptions of the piety of the man he calls a Prophet, may be distasteful to some of... |

| 17. |  | Judaism, Human Values, and the Jewish State from Harvard University Press Price: $26.50 Customer Review: As another review points out, Leibowitz believes that the purpose of Judaism and mitzvot is "the religious perfection of man", and that mitzvot (commandments) should be observed for their own sake rather than for external ends. According to Lebowitz, it follows that religion is completely separate... |

| 18. |  | Living a Life That Matters: Resolving the Conflict Between Conscience and Success from Knopf Price: $14.96 Customer Review: Subtly is the thread that weaves through every chapter of this warm and slightly fuzzy book. Reading Kushner is like wrapping yourself in a thick flannel blanket on a snowny night. This is wonderful to keep on hand for those days when you're a little stressed out or down. Covering a variety of... |

| 19. |  | The Holy Letter: A Study in Jewish Sexual Morality from Jason Aronson Customer Review: This is a translation of a famed Kabbalistic letter attributed to Nachmanides (Moses ben Nachman) including a lengthy introduction describing the history of the work (1/3 of book) & an English translation side-by-side with Hebrew. The translator, former President of the Rabbinical Assembly of... |

| 20. | [no image] | Judaism Beyond God (Library of Secular Humanistic Judaism) from Ktav Publishing House Customer Review: Judaism Beyond God - Sherwin Wine A the oldest of the three major monotheisms, it can be expected that Judaism would be in the forefront of the move toward agnostic secularism and the recognition that the major philosophical question - "Why is there something instead of nothing?" - cannot be... |

| 21. |  | Let There Be Light: Modern Cosmology and Kabbalah: A New Conversation Between Science and Religion from New World Library Price: $12.44 Customer Review: I've always loved science and have recently become more religious.

| 22. |  | Peace of Mind: Insights on Human Nature That Can Change Your Life from Citadel Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I think of my beloved father Reuben Kelly Freedman and how he read and reread this book. He spoke often of searching for ' peace of mind'. And I think a book with this title is of course of most interest to those who are disturbed, restless, anxious troubled who in short have ' no peace of mind'. In... |

| 23. |  | Understanding the Sick and the Healthy: A View of World, Man, and God, With a New Introduction by Hilary Putnam from Harvard University Press Price: $21.00 Customer Review: This is a very difficult read! We can understand why the author withdrew the manuscript's publication during his life time (1886-1929), first published in 1992 after the author's prophetic thought became a source for the seminal endeavors of others, mostly notably that of Emmanuel Levinas. I... |

Unlike so many religous writters who are in fact intellectual pygmies who got into religeon because they lacked the intellectual ability to do anything else ( or wanted to avoid militairy... |

| 25. |  | Religion of Reason: Out of the Sources of Judaism (American Academy of Religion Texts and Translations Series) from An American Academy of Religion Book Price: $75.00 Customer Review: If you know absolutely nothing about Judaism, you will not get much out of this book. The best way to understand Judaism is to read Book Five of the TORAH a number of times, allowing yourself to forget any Christian preconceptions. Why, for instance, did the Chief Rabbi of Israel rule that a... |

| 26. |  | On Jewish Learning (Modern Jewish Philosophy and Religion) from University of Wisconsin Press Price: $11.53 Customer Review: It is true as reviewer M. Llewyn has written that this book is abstract and difficult. But it is also true that it is written by one of the great intellectual heroes of modern Judaism. The story of Rosenzweig's rediscovery of his Jewishness, his writing of his monumental work ' Star of Redemption'... |

| 27. |  | I and Thou from Scribner Price: $17.16 Customer Review: I was a philosophy major in college and I've read a lot of works out there. I can tell you that this is by far my favorite book. Buber's ideas are so simple yet so profound - he offers a way to be in the world that is real, useful, and ultimately fulfilling. This book has helped me in my business... |

| 28. | [no image] | Who Needs God from Summit Books Customer Review: A nice, innocuous, not-too-deep book- designed not for scholars but for the sort of person who might believe in God but feels no particular Divine command to do anything and is turned off by organized religion. Thus, this is not a book for Christian fundamentalists or observant Jews, but for people... |

| 29. |  | The Enneagram and Kabbalah: Reading Your Soul from Jewish Lights Publishing Price: $13.25 Customer Review: This is my favorite book on the enneagram and definitely the best written by an author speaking out of his religious tradition. Addison does a remarkale job writing from a pastoral model, that is he comes from a place of Hearing, a place of hesed. Compassion, but more. I had great difficulty... |
