Synopsis
"The long and troubled journey of the human soul, from the earliest days of creation to reincarnation in the Promised Land, is told in this epic tale of the ancient Hebrews. This vision of trial and sacrifice yields fresh perspectives on the familiar Biblical stories, as the figures, landmarks, and events take on new significance when the actual ancient Hebrew text is translated literally. The result is a transformational reading of the Bible, deeply personal and spiritual. The inevitable struggle of a divine spirit trapped in a body of mud and struggling to become free is enacted against the backdrop of the desert wilderness, a world beyond the sea of ending. The text, threading through the first six books of the Bible, is illuminated by commentary that draws on contemporary linguistic and scientific sources, and traditional Kabbalist sources. Included are original Hebrew text, scriptural citations, a summary, and the Songs of Ascent, a selection of Psalms that mirror the journey of the soul."

From the Publisher
The Hebrew Book of the Dead, the Biblical story of the soul's creation, life beyond the grave, and rebirth into the Promised Land is drawn from direct literal translation of the Ancient Hebrew. Zhenya Senyak's commentary for each section is preceded by Hebrew and English text with Scriptural citation.
The book is 218 pages, including an analytical commentary by Rabbi Jonathan Slater, an introduction by Huston Smith, and a workshop on the Songs of Ascent, a series of Psalms to accompany the soul entering a new World. Although the text is Ancient, there are classical Kabbalist and contemporary scientific elements used to illuminate this most protean vision of human spiritual life in a body of mud.
