The Book of Words (Sefer Shel Devarim): Talking Spiritual Life, Living Spiritual Talk (The Kushner Series)
Lawrence Kushner
Jewish Lights Publishing, 1998
A Small Book With Enormous Impact!
I thought I understood the meaning of the words presented here, but Kushner's definitions really startled me, challenged me, and engaged me! His unconventional definitions brought new light to so many words I thought I understood, and all too often took for granted. ...

Book of Jasher: Referred to in Joshua & II Samuel - Complete Exhaustive 1840 J.H. Parry - Sefer Yahshar
J.H. Parry
Artisan Publishers, 1988
The trusted "Orange Cover Book" of Jasher by Artisan Publishers has a new cover, but the same reliable translation inside.
I read The Book of Jasher years ago (the Orange Cover book) and then gave it to family members to read. Since I wanted to replace it with the same translation as before (being endorsed by noted religious scholars as to its reliability of translation), I found it again ...

Origins of the Kabbalah
Gershom Gerhard Scholem
Princeton University Press, 1991
conforming thought to faith
In my mind, this is one of the most important books written in the twentieth century. Strong words, I admit; please allow me to make my case. This book helps to remove much of the confusion concerning the Kabbalah which is a rich tradition of repeated attempts to ...

Sefer Ha-Yashar Or The Book Of Jasher
Providence University, 2007
This is a faithful translation from the original Hebrew into English. Sefer Ha-Yashar, cited in Joshua 10:13, was thought lost for a long time. It should have been included among the other books of the Bible but it was omitted as were many other books.
