The Complete Idiot's Guide to Jewish Spirituality and Mysticism

You’re no idiot, of course. You know Judaism predates Christianity and remains one of the world’s most practiced religions. However, the ideals and ethics expressed in such texts as the Talmud and the Kabbalah may not seem as accessible as the stories of the Jews in the Bible, and you’re intimidated at the thought of exploring these ancient texts.

 

Discover their wisdom without learning Hebrew! The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Jewish Spirituality and Mysticism will show you exactly where the spiritual side of Judaism originated. In this Complete Idiot’s Guide®, you get:

 

--  The four goals of Jewish mystical thought: to understand ourselves on a deeper level; to understand the universe

on a deeper level; to improve our character; and to understand the mind of God.

--Life lessons found in the Biblical stories of Noah,  Abraham, and Isaac.

--The historical significance of the Exodus story and the role Moses played as a Jewish leader.

--Important passages from the Bible and Talmud—fully explained.
