Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kabbalah 365: Daily Fruit from the Tree of Life (Hardcover)
The title is a collection of short inspirational aphorisms and reflections drawing on Jewish wisdom, one for each day of the year. The book as such is beautiful. The only thing that, in my opinion, detracts from its value is that the same author has published another similar title - "Daily Kabbalah - Wisdom from the Tree of Life" and the contents of the two books coincide by about 90%.

Rabbi Gershon Winkler is a kind of controversial figure in the Jewish world - sometimes nicknamed as "the cowboy rabbi" (which I cannot help taking as a tribute because I also like westerns). His books give me the impression that he is an unconventional rabbi, but his Jewish devotion is genuine and some of his ideas are actually pretty good.

Let me also take this opportunity to express appreciation for Amazon.com for mediating the purchase from a third party. Unfortunately, when a book is "available from these sellers", they usually refuse to deliver merchandise to my country (don't know why it's a problem) and I am glad that Amazon.com offered its fulfillment in this particular instance.
