Review

The Kabbalah Of Money challenges the reader to take a broad and ethical view of economic behavior, which includes all forms of exchange and human interaction, from how we spend our money to how we fulfill our role as responsible human beings in a global ecological framework. Drawing on Jewish ethical teachings, mystical lore, and tales of the Hasidic masters, Rabbi Nilton Bonder examines a wide range of subjects including competition, partnerships and contracts, loans and interest, the laws of fair exchange, tips, and presents. The Kabbalistic teachings not only impart wisdom about the world of money, but also lead the reader to self-understanding and the magic of knowing who we are, what we really want, and how to receive -- all absolute prerequisites to wise money management and financial planning. -- Midwest Book Review --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Review

     The Kabbalah of Money: Insights on Livelihood, Business, and Other Forms of Economic Behavior by Rabbi Nilton Bonder is the most consistently spiritual and epiphanous book available on the ethical challenges of living in a material world. The Brazilian author presents rabbinical and mystical insights into an ecology of money involving exchange, transaction, and interdependence. In chapter after chapter, Bonder spins off fresh perspectives on the meaning of wealth, poverty, ownership, charity, competition, loans, fair exchange, tips, and presents. His Kabbalistic perspective enables him to show how study, prayer, and good deeds are integral to economic behavior. Since we are 'guests of God' in the world, gratitude and reverence are spiritual practices which enrich our knowledge of who we are and what is really important in our lives. And lest anyone think that The Kabbalah of Money is filled with abstractions, be forewarned that this dazzling little volume contains a treasure trove of wonderful stories by Hasidic masters. – Values and Visions Magazine , October 1996

5.0 out of 5 stars Time Management and Ethics in the Marketplace, May 25, 2000
By Loren D. Morrison "amateur_reviewer" (Los Angeles County, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Kabbalah of Money: Insights on Livelihood, Business, and All Forms of Economic Behavior (Hardcover)
In many ways THE KABBALAH OF MONEY is more about time management than it is about money. A theme that weaves its way through the book is that the optimal use of one's time is to devote it to study and learning - not just any studying, however, but the study of the Torah. In Jewish tradition, time is to be divided between study, work, and physiological needs (eating, sleeping, elimination, and leisure). All of our free time, once our work and physiological needs have been met should be devoted to study.

In this book, Rabbi Bonder brings together his knowledge of the working of the "marketplace" with Jewish ethical teachings, Talmudic Interpretations, teachings of the Hasidic Masters, Jewish Mysticism, and logical analysis. Here, marketplace is variously described as: a market of exchanges and interactions which represents "the infinite quantity of small and great businesses that take place in the universe at any given minute" and as a place where "each individual's fitness to survive is in accordance with his or her own perception of what survival is."

In keeping with the time theme, one of the problems to be faced has to do with devoting one's time to amassing wealth. In other words, how much is too much? Time that is spent with the objective of accumulating wealth (beyond that which meets our own needs and is beneficial to others) represents a two pronged loss. First of all, the creation of this type of wealth creates an offsetting scarcity. Secondly it involves wasting time that could, and should, be better spent in study. In contemporary terms, the accumulation of excess wealth is not ecologically sound.

Another area of discussion is the relationship of God to the marketplace. Rabbi Bonder states that "when a person prays only for material gains his pleas and efforts are wasted. This is because a curtain is brought down between himself and God as a result of material things having been brought into the domain of the spirit.

This book has had an impact on the way I conduct my life. Before reading it, my standard reaction to anyone asking for a handout was a knee-jerk reaction that he'll probably just use it to get drunk. After reading Bonder's section on dealing with beggars and how these dealings affect the marketplace, I came to 2 realizations:

1. So what if he does use it for drink. He probably needs the drink more than I need the dollar.

and

2. Who am I to judge anyway.

I highly recommend this book. In spite of its brevity it's not an easy read. I have barely touched the surface of a few of the concepts of what the dust jacket refers to as "a broad and ethical view of economic behavior including all forms of exchange and human interaction, from how we spend our money to how we fulfill our role as responsible human beings in a global ecological framework."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Kabbalah of Money-- A Critical Review, March 29, 2005
By Andre Lawrence (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Kabbalah of Money: Jewish Insights on Giving, Owning, and Receiving (Paperback)
The Kabbalah of Money is an essential book for anyone who's interested in increasing their personal wealth, improving the quality of life ("tikkun haOlom") or desires insight into the inner workings of successful living.

I've read and re-read this book multiple times since I bought in back in August, 2004. To say it is a business book "...Money" would indeed be a disservice to the reader and Rabbi Bonder. This book is about, first and foremost, understanding how one's behavior-- by thought, speech and action-- influences the environment for good or otherwise.

Let me also point out that it does address business issues, but it does so with ample does of Talmudic wisdom. And, to my pleasure, it is not overly heavyhanded in its scope.

The book does not teach the how to's of getting into business, but the ethical and spiritual aspects. So, for instance, if one is a fan of Mr. Donald "The Art of the Deal" Trump, it would behoove you to have a copy of this while you're watching The Apprentice. It's akin to The Power of Positive Thinking and/or Enthusiasm Makes the Difference by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, but with the obvious Jewish foundation.

I highly recommend this book, it is a gem and its rewards are hidden in its pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really liked it.., May 13, 2005
By Crown Vic (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kabbalah of Money: Jewish Insights on Giving, Owning, and Receiving (Paperback)
This is a book that you can read and re-read to make sure that its principles remain grounded within you. I found many of the Rabbi's writings on expending other people's time..speaking of others in disheartening ways..and the value of money and promise to be great reminders of what I should expect from others and what I should be expending myself. It's a great consicous watch-dog for me and I've enjoyed the book immensely.
