Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Garb's A History of Kabbalah: From the Early Modern Period to the Present Day is a lucid and sophisticated account of the multifaceted nature of Jewish mysticism, focusing on its development from the spiritual revolution that took place in Safed in the sixteenth century until the present. Opening the secrets of the kabbalah to a wider audience, Garb judiciously argued that how important the mystical and esoteric tradition has been in Jewish history and in the cultural and intellectual life of Europe more generally. One of the more methodologically innovative aspects of Garb's book is his contention that kabbalah became a major factor in the religious life of Jews in the modern age due to print and others forms of rapid communication, a process that has magnified significantly in recent years due to the digital revolution. Informative and provocative, A History of Kabbalah will surely be of interest to a wide readership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pamela Jaye Smith, Founder of Mythworks, author of “Inner Drives” and “The Power of the Dark Side” ”Written in a personal and very moving style, Dr. Schram's book offers insights from great thinkers and philosophies about the nature of reality and the unity of existence. His own perspective is joyous and he points delightedly to ways we ourselves can discover and live joy. Citing many sources, from mystic Judaism to Native American shamanism to Hindu philosophy, and more, Schram proves his point that not only is everything connected but that our perceptions and teachings from varied times and places reflect each other as well. Having read the Old Testament many times as a young Christian and later as a comparative mythologist, I was surprised and intrigued at his explanations of many of the stories. His psychological insights offer deep illustrative interpretations to the old Bible tales. A rich collection of quotes from diverse thinkers enriches and illustrates his points about the nature of reality and our place in it. Ancient philosophy, quantum physics, ageless wisdom, and a charming sense of humor all combine in "Oh My God" to offer you an entertaining read, an informative overview of philosophies, and a personal perspective that inspires you to find, know, and become your true self and live life to the fullest.”

Book excerpt: "Experimentation with yoga, drumming, meditation, eclectic musical forms, Buddhism, and egalitarian prayer were once the province of the most marginal of Jewish religious practices. Today, however, they are being embraced with varying degrees of enthusiasm within mainstream Jewish denominations, revealing the gradual 'normalization' of New Age Judaism's religious forms. New Age Judaism focuses much needed scholarly attention on these new forms and expressions of Judaism both within and outside of the synagogue setting." "This edited volume explores a range of experiences and conceptualizations of 'New Age Judaism', an imprecise term denoting new and evolving forms of North American Judaism that are typically innovative, combinative, and often controversial. Chapters analyze the phenomenon of New Age Judaism from theoretical, theological and ethnographic perspectives. As a result, they offer a broad sampling of some of the most fascinating forms of Jewish religious expression and philosophy in North America today."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the state of the American Jewish world in the early 21st century, after decades of accelerating change that has transformed it and all other religious groups in the United States. It reveals a community in an unparalleled state of flux grappling with a society in which religious identity is more and more considered an individual choice, rather than an inheritance, and where fewer adults feel impelled to identify with any religious tradition at all. In chapters written by leading experts, the book examines the community’s evolving demographics, the direction of the principal denominational movements, contemporary religious trends, interactions with other American religious communities and engagements in the country’s secular politics. This text uniquely covers all these aspects of Judaism in America making it appealing to students and researchers in such fields as the sociology of religion, Judaism, and American history.
