Kabblah is for everyone
The subject of Kabbalah is huge, and encompasses such a vast array of ideas as to what it really is and which is the "true" Kabbalah. Michael Laitman helps us work our way through the tangle of ideas and opinions and gets down to the meat of Kabbalah. He explains that Kabbalah is only about one thing, and that is showing us how to reach spirituality through changing our nature. Unlike ...
The Complete Artscroll Machzor Rosh Hashanah (Artscroll Mesorah Series)

To better understand the 'davvaning'
I often have this Machzor with me on the holidays. I find it especially helpful when I want to know the meaning of the lines of the 'Piyyutim'. The translations are not always elegant but they are I believe true to the basic meaning. And even though I know Hebrew quite well, I often need the English translation for understanding. I also commend what might seem to some, the very literal ...

Absolutely cannot do without it!
I have had this book for about 48 years, in fact the original one has pages falling out. I had to buy another (with soft cover) about 15 years ago because the first one is very fragile. I bought this book for my daughter when she got married in 1980 and also for my youngest daughter when she married in 1983. Now my grandaughter, age 18, is starting college and wants the book, too. I understand it ...

R E A D this book!!
For such a small stature as Hannah was, she is one of WWII's, strongest women. It is a must read for any philosophical or history buff. In addition, would make a great movie if someone would be wllling to do so. Once you pick up this book you will devour it. Her life and who she was will remain forever in your memory. I envy her. For 20 years Hannah's diary still remains so dear to my ...

The first great witness of the Shoah
I take this account from Robert Chandler's article on 'Life and Fate' which appeared in Prospect magazine. Chandler is one of Grossman's translators, and an outstanding interpreter and commentator on his work. " In 1943, after the German surrender at Stalingrad, Grossman was with the first red army units to liberate the Ukraine. He learned about Babi Yar, where 100,000 people, most of them ...

My personal favorite
I love cookbooks, to read and look through. This one is the best. It has all the basic recipes and loads of information abouth jewish life and general cooking. When I am looking for a good basic recipe I know it will be here. I have given this as a shower gift many times. There are many cookbooks out there with more updated recipes and pictures (this book has no pictures) but when I need ...

Jewish analogue to The Golden Bough
Translated from the original German by the founder of Hadassah, this work encompasses Jewish legends and traditions from a comprehensive array of Jewish and non-Jewish sources, weaving together into a story-form the various myths and legends; some espoused by mainstream and some by non-mainstream Jewry. Great bibliographical references for each citation utilizing both traditional and ...

Absolutely essential for the serious Pesach cook!
This book could be subtitled "The Joy of Passover Cooking" because it does for Passover what the "Joy of Cooking" did for food in general. An incredible variety of recipes, suitable for both gebrochts and non-gebrochts (in 10 years I haven't yet tried them all), with conversion tables and recommendations for substitutions if you live, as I do, in a place where the choice of ...

The best cookbook I own
I have many cookbooks, but this is the one I always return to. I've been using it for almost 3 decades, and hope to use it for many more. It's not a kitchy book, nor is it filled with complicated recipes. This cookbook has the pure basics of cooking kosher food, and even when I feel like experimenting and making up a recipe, I often refer to it to see cooking times for certain items, like meat, ...

Mel Bay's Complete Traditional Holiday Season Fake Book
The Christmas and Holiday songs in this book include those that we would all like to play but that most of us are unable to. This "fake" book provides a system whereby ordinary people who love this music but who have not had the musical training that they might wish they had, can play them too. The sound of these arrangements is unusually lush and authentic for arrangements of this kind. The ...

Brilliant
This is one of the best Jewish cookery books I have ever bought. I have used it since I received it as a gift two years ago, and have bought copies for my family and friends both here in the UK and abroad. If you can only buy one Jewish cook book, this is the one!

Reiland has excelled himself with this follow up to the Fire and the Cloud. Much thoughtful speculation as to the real nature of the crucifixion as it relates to the Red Heifer sacrifice.

Like having a smart friend with you
I am planning a trip to London and the surrounding countryside and I stumbled across this guidebook. Because I am Jewish, I was interested in learning more about the culture and history of British Jewish places while I traveled. This book is packed with facts that are presented in a very entertaining way. The author talks about places regular guidebooks miss, and she makes you aware of the ...

The best machzor available
Well just as the Rosh haShanah Machzor changed my perspective on the prayer service, so too the Yom Kippur Machzor has changed the way I daven forever. The Translation is lucid, the layout clear, and logical and a pleasure to use. The extended vidui is at the back, which can be a bit difficult to wield, but is not overly cumbersome that it was detrimental to the prayers. The commmentary there ...

An indispensible archive and reference
There have been many Songbooks of Jewish music compiled by a variety of organizations over the last 40 years - all for a specific purpose. This collection however is unique in that in its 400+ pages it provides the lyrics (or texts with sources), music notation and guitar chords of nearly every song taught by camp and Temple songleaders between 1965 and 2000. It is nothing less than an archive of ...

The "Torah" of jewish cooking
A truly amazing book. I received that book from a friend, and just by quickly skimming through I was amazed by this book. Not only it contains a very brief history of jewish culture over ages, but it also shows why/how different tastes have evolved in jewish culture. This book is no mean feat, as it covers most classical dishes found in different places of the world, with particular spices (for ...

Will Parfitt

Best introduction for kabbalah and magick
Whenever someone asks me which book to first read in order to start learning magick I always recomend this book by Will Parfitt. The great thing about it is that he guides the reader through a sequence of experiences so that you get to experience the different "energies", "paths" and "spheres", rather than just read about them. Most of the exersizes are also easy enough to do so that they do not ...
