Simple Light: Wisdom from a Woman's Heart by Karen Berg For millennia, the teachings of Kabbalah were available only to men. In fact, women were literally forbidden from studying the subject. Karen Berg has spent her life trying to change that. As the cofounder of the Kabbalah Centre International and the author of the groundbreaking God Wears Lipstick, in which she revealed for the first time how women could use Kabbalah’s timeless tools to improve their lives and find greater fulfillment, Berg is arguably the world’s best known and most beloved female Kabbalist. ...
The 72 Names of God: The Course: Technology for the Soul by Yehuda Berg Average Rating: "Its very difficult to review a book like this. Personal opinion comes into play more than if I was reviewing a cd or a dvd! Followers of Kabbalah believe that each of the 72 names of G-d relates specifically to an area of your life. (The names were hidden in code in the Torah). ..."
The Power of Kabbalah: Technology for the Soul by Yehuda Berg Average Rating: "I'll start with the good stuff. This book challenges you to look at life in a different way. To actually seek out challenges in life, not to avoid them. True spiritual growth comes from taking advantage of life's tribulations. I can totally agree with that. This book also encourages people to give up the "culture of victimhood" and leave it behind. ..."
Modern Magick: Eleven Lessons in the High Magickal Arts (Llewellyn's High Magick) by Donald Kraig Average Rating: "After all those years of wondering about magick and trying to find a book which really teaches you the REAL secrets of magick, this book wins the ultimate MUST HAVE. Very good for those who are starters in Magick. This book lets you understand and learn the Whats, the Hows, and the Whens of Magick. ..."
Jewish Meditation: A Practical Guide by Aryeh Kaplan Average Rating: "As far as I know, Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan (may he rest in peace) was the first Orthodox rabbi to write about Jewish meditation for the general public. He did so because his own teachers recognized that American Jews in the 60s and 70s were growing up without knowledge of these traditions, and were therefore abandoning Judaism for other religions in order to be "more spiritual." Hence this and other books by Kaplan on Jewish meditation.Kaplan's books are still considered to be among the most authentic on the market, and are kosher even among the Orthodox and Hasidic branches of Judaism. ..."
Sefer Yetzirah: The Book of Creation Average Rating: "Before his tragic death, Rabbi Kaplan was a practicing Kabbalist who wrote several ground-breaking books on Kabbalah. Notably, he wrote 3 books on Jewish Meditation and commentaries on both the Sefer Yetzirah and the Book Bahir. His Sefer Yetzirah provides considerable commentary and explanation of the text, though much of it is still a mystery--so don't expect a complete exposition of a definitive sort. ..."
The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Vol. 1 Average Rating: "I've also got the Soncino edition as well as the Kabbalah Centre translation of Zohar and I must say this one is certainly the best. Daniel Matt provides an excellent set of footnotes which elucidate why he made the translation decisions he did for particular words and phrases in addition to giving a lot of background material from other Jewish texts. ..."
Kabbalah: A Love Story by Lawrence Rabbi Kushner Average Rating: "Vladimir Nabokov, who taught literature to Cornell undergrads in the '50s, opined that one ought to read books twice. Only after you know the twists in the plot and how it all turns out are you free to fully experience the book. I believe it, but only rarely have I followed his advice.
I enjoyed reading Kushner's "Kabbalah: A Love Story" when it appeared a few weeks ago. ..."
Mystical Qabalah by Dion Fortune Average Rating: "A caution -- this is the first book I've read on kabbalah/qabalah, though I had a rudimentary grasp of the topic from books that touched on the subject (from both occult and Jewish approaches). However, since I expect many of the people reading this review will also be looking for their first book on qabalah, I hope my comments will be helpful.The major thing to know about this book was that it was written in England in the 1930's. ..."
