Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this charming book filed with wonderful insights, Rabbi Labowitz guides readers nimbly through a considerable thicket of Jewish mystical wisdom. Labowitz focuses his attention on the Tree of Life tradition of Jewish mysticism, and he explores each of the 10 branches of the Tree of Life: Intention, Wisdom, Understanding, Compassion, Strength, Harmony, Success, Glory, Creativity and Nobility. To illuminate this tour, he calls upon references to Buddhist spirituality, feminist lore and Taoist philosophy. Labowitz sets himself a full plate, and his book is often frustrating and confusing, for he mixes metaphors by describing the tree of life as possessing city gates rather than branches. In addition, the purpose of the book is not clear, caught somewhere between a workbook for a spiritual journey and a commentary on the wisdom tradition of the Tree of Life. Even so, Labowitz has written an interesting introduction to some of the most absorbing insights in this Tree of Life tradition.

From Library Journal

An inspirational leader in the Jewish renewal movement, Labowitz applies teachings from the ancient wisdom of the Kabbalah to everyday life by meditating on the lessons borrowed from the mystical "tree of life": intention, wisdom, understanding, compassion, strength, harmony, success, glory, creativity, and nobility. The lessons of each chapter are introduced with a guided meditation intended to deepen the reader's openness to receiving the wisdom of the lesson. Labowitz draws liberally upon the insights of Taoism and Buddhism while remaining true to the traditional teachings of mystical Judaism. All readers, regardless of religious faith, will benefit from this meditative approach to practical living. Recommended for all libraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful language ; clearly her heart's experience., October 30, 1999
By 
Madeleine Verhallen (Nijmegen, The Netherlands, Europe) - See all my reviews
The author writes about the Kaballah, a jewish mystic, as about her own experiences in very clear and beautiful language. I read and reread the book and still enjoy reading it very much. When reading it is as if I may join in the spiritual experiences of the author, which are very normal day to day experiences of deep stillnes. In ten chapters Shoni Labowitz describes the 10 sephirot of the tree of life and each chapter is devided again in paragraphs in which she describes aspects of the sephirot. These paragraphs are like meditations, in simple and very beautiful language. And when reading I notice that each sephira can be a part of my daily life. That's the beauty of the book for me: spiritual experience is not out of reach and holy and only for very spiritual people, but living day by day with both feet on the ground, enjoying life in many facets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Are you ready to take a Journey of a lifetime?, July 22, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Miraculous Living: A Guided Journey Through the Ten Gates of the Tree of Life (Hardcover)
Rabbie Labowitz has written a spiritual guide that leads the reader on a wonderful journey of discovery. Each page brings new insights into the awareness of the reader and shows the reader the paths available in the journey we call life.

Miraculous Living beautifully describes the Kabbalah's 10 gates of the Tree of Life and the TAO. The commonalities of the two ancient and important works unfold before the readers eyes. Each gate includes a meditation that supports and enhances the message.

While written in very different sytes, I found that the truths of Miraculous Living are the foundation of books such as "Simple Abundance" and wonderful companions to books such as "Anatomy of the Spirit".

Take time to savor Miraulous Living and you will be on the Journey of a lifetime

5.0 out of 5 stars WHO Can benefit from this book, January 29, 2000
To begin with this book is a life journey kind of book. I am Catholic and have found this book has given me such depths of spirituality that I read and reread entire parts of it and read them again with new eyes. It has a brand new lesson in each reading. Something I might have missed suddenly comes to mind.

I am currently buying my eighth copy of this book. Not saying that I give it away lightly but I know I want to have one handy when I meet someone who is seeking their Godspark.
