5.0 out of 5 stars The best introduction to jewish mysticism there is, June 10, 1998
By 
This review is from: Honey from the Rock: An Easy Introduction to Jewish Mysticism (The Kushner series) (Paperback)
kushner's book is quite simply THE book to read if you have any interest at all in jewish mysticism. Totally accessible to anyone. Kushner has written several books after this one and most are also excellent but this is the place to begin.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like most of Kushner's books, December 28, 2009

Eric Maroney (Trumansburg, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Honey from the Rock: An Easy Introduction to Jewish Mysticism (The Kushner series) (Paperback)
Honey from the Rock has a great deal of heart, but little in the way of strong content. Part of this is purposeful. Kushner is attempting to reach a wide audience with his work, and so must reduce or distill the work to a common denominator. The unfortunate effect is a further devaluing of the kabbalah, and yet another work that takes it further from the roots which nourish it: halakic Judaism.

But it is hard to find absolute fault with this work. Kushner expounds the great mystical maxim: everything is one. The supposed separation of things in the world is a false perception. This is a powerful message, no matter how delivered. And it is within the reach of everyone.
