5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a book: it's a Sefer, November 30, 1999

This review is from: The Juggler and the King: The Jew and the Conquest of Evil: An Elaboration of the Vilna Gaon's Insights Into the Hidden Wisdom of the Sages (Hardcover)

If you can learn from the original, even better.

For us the not so learned, is a great opportunity to access hidden teachings.

This Sefer, written in high brow English, translates the explanation of HaGaon MiVilna to some Agadeta.

You'll understand the world and yourself better after going through it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Torah availability, April 6, 2006

Just buy it. If you feel the hunger of accessing Midrashim and other Mystical Jewish Sources you will go crazy with this book (it's more psychological and philosophical ending up in the metaphysics of both, yet an extremely easy reading), it really gives you the feeling of how this Knowledge is put to work explaining different parts of Talmudic symbolism recorded in Metaphors (not the part that deals with Legislation). ***Just be sure you get the right book, the title is: The Juggler and the King. Author is: Aharon Feldman (I don't know why a different name appears here). And the Publisher: Feldheim.

One would have never thought that only in between a binding you can put the whole meaning of life as put by the Talmud, this is what they call a mustbuy, the reall meaning of the word though.
