Finding Joy

The spirituality of Jewish mysticism marks the pathways by which Rabbi Dannel Schwartz helps his readers explore, through the practical application of the teachings of the Sefirot, the 10 divine rays of light celebrated in the kabbalistic tradition. The spiritual leader of Temple Shir Shalom in West Bloomfield, Michigan, the author knows from experience that even the loftiest of spiritual intentions mean little unless they are made applicable to daily living, and he has done just that with the weekly spiritual exercises so thoughtfully included at the end of each chapter. While it is true that the book holds particular interest for Jews, there is nothing in it that would be problematic for Christians or, indeed, anyone interested in spiritual growth, and much that would be illuminating and helpful.
