Angel angel shining bright in the soul at darkest night,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: A Gathering of Angels: Angels in Jewish Life and Literature (Hardcover)
One very interesting section of this work has to do with the abundance of angels that appear during the time of the Apocrypha and Psuedigrapha period, a time of crisis for the Jewish people in Israel. Celestial messengers and helpers multiplied so much so that according to Margolies they were denied a place in the Canon.
This book is a gathering of Hebrew and Jewish angels from the Bible to Isaac Singer. It has brief introductions and explanations but is not a deep philosophical work, but rather a work of story and example. How to put it all together in meaning terms is I think left to the reader. But the author has done a very illuminating work of assembling and introducing the divine helpers.

Angels in Jewish Culture,
By Opal (Newington, CT USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gathering of Angels (Paperback)
I love this book. There are so many books about angels, but there are precious few of Angels in Jewish culture. I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes in angels (I do) and specifically people of the Jewish faith. I'm so glad I was able to get this book from Amazon.com as I had left my copy behind after I moved out of my marital home after my divorce. Going to a bookstore is hard for me, and as I remember the price was much higher when I bought it there.
