5.0 out of 5 stars A Guild to Jewish Meditation, July 11, 2000
By Gary Wachter (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
Rabbi Fisdel's book takes the beginner into the world of Jewish meditation and Kabbalah. The book is easy to read, but takes you, step by step, into the depths of Kabbalah. He does an excellent job of teaching, not just what The Tree of Life is, but how it "works". His comments on passages from the Sefer Yitziah (The Book of Formation), an ancient kabbalist classic, are clear and are used as the basis for meditations. He also includes the Zohar's perspecitve on the Tree of Life. He actually teaches you how to use the Tree of Life to create your own meditations for your individual needs. But you do not have to create your own meditation because he presents and explains numerous meditations. He even ends the book with almost two dozen more graduated meditations.

After reading several other good books on Kaballah, this is the only one that teached you how to meditate. My other recent readings include: Jewish Meditation, A Practical Guide by Aryeh Kaplan, G-d is a Verb by David Cooper, Endless Light by David Aaron, Discovering Jewish Meditation by Nan Fink Gefen, Kabbalah for the Layman by Phillip Berg, A Journey of Awakening by Ted Falcon.
