From Booklist
There’s no doubt that kabbalah, the practice of Jewish mysticism, is not for the faint of heart. As the book’s introduction notes, it is nothing less than God’s blueprint for creation . . . a vibrant body of mystical techniques and teachings. So it’s to Dedopulos’ credit that he makes (almost) understandable something that is so very complicated. He begins by tracing kabbalah’s history and then spends much of the book explaining the basic image of kabbalah, the Tree of Life—what it is and what it means. Kabbalah’s place in other mystical traditions and in today’s world is also covered. The clean format aids concentration, the historical images add interest, and illustrations of the Tree of Life are clear and helpful to learning, but many of the stock photos have little relevance (an image of swans is accompanied by the caption, Swans were thought of as the king of birds . . . as they carried messages and power between rulers). Exercises allow readers to try out meditation techniques that lead closer to the practice of kabbalah. A good starting point. --Ilene Cooper
