The Essential Kabbalah: The Heart of Jewish Mysticism - Daniel C. Matt

The author of Zohar: The Book of Enlightenment has written an essential guide to Jewish mysticism--a striking anthology, an original meditation, and a mystic philosophy of life (David Wolpe, author of The Healer of Shattered Hearts: A Jewish View of God). A translation of the Kabbalah for the layperson includes a compact presentation of each primary text and features a practical analysis and vital historical information that offer insight into the various aspects of Jewish mysticism.
